The potato is a culinary workhorse: it can be mashed, fried, baked, or smashed, and somehow always works. It’s a comfort food staple and arguably the most versatile ingredient in many kitchens.

This list highlights the potato recipes our readers save and return to most frequently, from elegant French classics to quick weeknight sides. These aren’t just popular because of nostalgia; they demonstrate how powerfully satisfying a well-made potato dish can be.

The Appeal of Potatoes

Potatoes are cheap, filling, and readily available. This makes them ideal for households on a budget, but their real strength lies in flavor and texture. A perfectly roasted potato can be crispy on the outside, fluffy inside, and intensely savory. Mashed potatoes offer a creamy, comforting counterpoint to richer meats or sauces.

The recipes below tap into this versatility. They’ve all been saved using MyRecipes, our free tool for organizing favorite dishes.
