Sticky Maple Glazed Potatoes

While many potato recipes call for cream, butter, or both, these maple-glazed potatoes from Shu-Chun, creator of Joyful Dumplings, are vegan. And they’re absolutely appetizing! First, baby potatoes are pan-fried for maximum crunch and then showered in a deliciously sweet and sticky, umami, garlicky, maple glaze.

Okay, this one is on our must-try list; we tried the sauce from this recipe, and it was unbelievable! Maple is a better choice than white sugar for added flavor. While Shun-Chun crisps her potatoes in the pan, we deep-fried ours…but that sauce!

Parmesan Peppercorn Mashed Potatoes

With these parmesan peppercorn mashed potatoes from the Cooking With Wine folks, steak sides are no longer an afterthought. We love this team as their recipes are precise. For example, this recipe calls for Yukon gold potatoes in grams and a specific kind of sour cream. So bring this dish to Thanksgiving and make a statement.

Potato Dinner Rolls

The inspiration for these bread machine potato rolls from Christian of 24Bite was an old recipe written on a note in a recipe box. How cool is that? The potato and you can use a fresh one or instant, make the rolls fluffy, light, and airy, precisely what you want for your holiday dinner rolls.

Bombay Potatoes

With just a glance, it’s easy to see that these Bombay potatoes from Shilpa of East Indian Cookbook are bursting with flavor.

Brown Butter Mashed Potatoes With Roasted Garlic

Brown butter imparts a nuttiness that takes average dishes to the stratosphere. So, these delish mashed potatoes from Kyleigh of Barley And Sage aren’t ordinary.

That flavor is further enhanced with roasted garlic, sour cream, chives, thyme, and more.

Lemon Feta Fries

A pet peeve of ours is restaurants that treat fries as an afterthought—an obligatory side to accompany burgers. So with these great lemon feta fries from Entirely Elizabeth, you will break away from the mediocre. First, hot and crispy fries are piled high with mozzarella and feta cheeses. Then you drench them in her super flavorful, lemony, herby olive oil sauce.

Starting with raw potatoes and lots of flavors, this masala fries recipe from Qashang of Chili To Choc is the real deal.

Note: Double frying works really well for crispy homemade fries.
