When it comes to the best potato recipes, we don’t discriminate. Mashed, scalloped, baked, lathered in mayo in a potato salad (our favorite kind of salad), or whizzed into a velvety soup—all potato iterations are welcome at the party. We’ve pulled together this list, which spans everything from the more, uh, unique potato recipes to easy potato recipes and potato main dishes, to help you make the most of these versatile workhorses. We’re talking about textural masterpieces like these crunchy-creamy smashed potatoes or this ultra-crispy golden potato cake. The show-stopping sweet potato and cream cheese layer cake that’ll make you forget it’s packed with our fave orange veggie. And the bright and lemony, tater-filled samosas that are virtually impossible to stop eating. Read on for our 73 best potato recipes—and, mind passing the salt?

Whiskey Sweet Potato Pie
In the Guy family household, sweet potato pie is like the halftime show—anticipated sometimes even more than the game day turkey. This year, I’m switching things up a bit with this Whiskey Sweet Potato Pie. What's different? The custard is enriched with coconut cream, extra ginger and cinnamon, a generous pour of smokey whiskey, and, of course, lots of slow-roasted sweet potatoes. Let's not forget the amazingly flaky spelt flour crust and the marshmallow-like whipped meringue that gets carefully swooped on top right before serving. I balance out all this delicious decadence by using Swerve to sweeten the filling and meringue; it's my go-to alternative sweetener when I want to put a healthier spin on a recipe without having to compromise on flavor. It all comes together to create a multi-layered masterpiece! Once it’s out sparkling on the table, you may just start calling it The Pie, the one that steals the show.
Classic Cookout Potato Salad
Sweet Potato Tea Cake
Sweet Potatoes With Charred Lemons and Crunchies
With custardy insides and charred exteriors, these sweet potatoes are everything you always wish roasted sweet potatoes could be. A crunchy mixture of toasted nuts and seeds provides pops of texture and spice, and a cooling lemony yogurt sauce cuts through the richness.

Summer Greens with Mustardy Potatoes and Six-Minute Egg
Make-Ahead Mashed Potatoes
Savory Sweet Potato Casserole
Brown butter and rosemary are the ultimate, timeless pairing for sweet potatoes. Making your own breadcrumbs from sourdough bread shoots this recipe into all-star status, but using store-bought in a pinch is perfectly fine too.
Pull-Apart Potato Rolls
Baked Potatoes Deluxe
Cast-Iron Roast Chicken with Crispy Potatoes
Size matters. This isn't the time for a mammoth Oven Stuffer, nor do we want some petite poussin—a 3½–4-lb. bird has the proportions we're after. When the breasts are roasted to perfection, all that dark meat is on-the-nose-done too.

Sour Cream and Onion Potato Salad
Spiced Sweet Potato Sandwich with Feta
Burnished Potato Nuggets
Sweet Potato and Brussels Sprout Okonomiyaki
For this nontraditional okonomiyaki recipe, you need to julienne the potato. Use a mandoline with the shredder attachment, or slice it very thinly into planks and then crosswise into very thin strips. Makes a terrific appetizer!

Sweet Potato Hummus
Sour Cream Mashed Potatoes with Paprika
Cacio e Pepe Potatoes
Mashed Baked Potatoes with Chives
Golden Potato Cake
It’s not about the potatoes—it’s what you do to the potatoes. In this recipe, precook them until they’re tender, then dispatch clarified butter (which is less likely to burn), heat, and time to help them become their best selves.
Ultra-Creamy Mashed Potatoes
We're ready to declare these the fluffiest, creamiest, and easiest mashed potatoes ever. Unpeeled potatoes absorb less moisture when boiled, and the ricer will catch the skins—great news for lazy cooks everywhere.
Leek and Potato Galette with Pistachio Crust
Smoked Potatoes
Kielbasa, Sauerkraut, and Potato Pierogies
Why choose between boiled or fried? The key to these pierogies is doing both. The egg in the dough and dusting of cornstarch mean they get crisp in the pan, while boiling alone renders them chewy. If you want to have a pierogi party, check out three other fillings for Beef, Onion, and Cheddar Pierogies, Bacon, Mushroom, and Spinach Pierogies, and Cottage Cheese and Blueberry Pierogies.
