There's no way around it: we love potatoes! Whether they're mashed, fried, roasted, or turned into crispy hash browns, the humble potato is the star ingredient in some of our most popular recipes. In fact, it doesn't matter what season or occasion we're celebrating, potatoes are almost always on the table in one form or another. That's why we've rounded up a comprehensive list of potato recipes to show just how versatile this carb-y spud is in cooking.
On special holidays, like St. Patrick's Day or Easter, your family will love the potato side dishes like Ree Drummond's crash hot potatoes or the scalloped potatoes made in a Crock-Pot. Then again, there are plenty of potato recipes for any night of the week. Just look at the air fryer baked potatoes, the tater tot ideas, or the gnocchi recipes that come together in a matter of minutes. Looking for some more creative potato recipes for your family dinner? We've got a fun twist on fries with lemon-pepper seasoning, grilled potatoes on skewers, pierogi recipes, and tons of variations on potato salads.
We've even included ways to use all different types of potatoes including russets, Yukon golds, and even sweet potatoes.

These potato dishes are sure to become your family's new favorite.
