Meals You Can Make With Potatoes

Potatoes are a versatile, starchy ingredient that can be used in a wide range of meals. They absorb flavor easily and can be cooked to different textures.

They work as a base, a side, or part of the main dish. Because they’re neutral, they pair well with most proteins and sauces without needing much adjustment.

Ways to Use Potatoes

Cut evenly so they cook at the same rate.

Use high heat when roasting to get a crisp exterior and soft interior.

Salt early when boiling so flavor builds from the inside.

Don’t overcrowd the pan when frying so they crisp instead of steam.

Let cooked potatoes sit briefly before serving so they hold their structure.
