Whether you’re a lover of mashed potatoes, baked potato recipes, or simple French fries, these potato recipes are right up your alley!
Traditionally, potato recipes are the ultimate side dish, with hash browns, twice-baked potatoes or roasted potatoes being the go-to for cooking up the humble veg. However, potatoes shine just as bright on their own, especially in hearty meals like potato casseroles, or creamy potato bakes.
One of the best ways to serve roasted potatoes is with an extra drizzle of olive oil. If you’ve made French fries, serve the crispy spuds with a dollop of sour cream and sweet chilli sauce.
Here are some of our favourite potato recipes that you can make ahead of time, serve at a dinner party or snack on while relaxing on the weekend.
