Our 79 Best Potato Recipes, All Worth a Bookmark

The best potato recipe is the one that matches your mood. From fancy to unfussy, sweet to savory, potatoes are more than willing to meet you wherever you are. But make no mistake, this collection of potato dishes is an outright party; one that celebrates America’s most consumed produce. Here, you’ll find appetizers, mains, side dishes, and even desserts. (Because what’s a party without dessert?) Whether they’re mashed, scalloped, baked, lathered in mayo in a potato salad (our favorite kind of salad), or whizzed into a velvety soup, all iterations of potato are welcome.

You’ll meet textural masterpieces like creamy smashed potatoes and an ultra-crispy golden potato cake. Be tempted by bright and lemony tater-filled samosas (virtually impossible to stop eating). And feel your eyes widen at the showstopping sweet potato and cream cheese layer cake made with our favorite orange veggie—that’s right, sweet potatoes are coming along too. Consider this your official invite.
