Mashed Cauliflower
This mashed cauliflower recipe is more than a low-carb alternative to mashed potatoes. It’s a creamy, cheesy, garlicky side dish that’s completely delicious in its own right. As we all know, things are weird right now. I had some posts I’d planned to get to you this week but I think all of our plans…
Make-Ahead Mashed Potato Casserole
This Make-Ahead Mashed Potato Casserole is a holiday miracle. Cooked in herbed half-and-half and topped with fried sage, you’ll swoon over the crispy-yet-creamy texture as much as all of the avoided last-minute stress. MAKE-AHEAD MASHED POTATO CASSEROLE I spend 150% of the holiday season stressed out because time management is not the strong suit of…
Syracuse Salt Potatoes
These 4-ingredient Syracuse Salt Potatoes are a classic Central NY dish. Thin salt crusts, almost impossibly tender centers, and a drizzle of melted butter make them just as irresistible as they are easy to prepare. Every year until I was 15, my entire extended family traveled to Syracuse, New York to celebrate my great-grandfather’s birthday….
Sweet Mustard Pork and Potato Packets
Sweet Mustard Pork and Potato Packets. They say good things come in small packages. These tangy, sweet, and smoky pork chop foil packets prove it– and they’re extremely easy to make, to boot. This post is brought to you by French’s. All opinions expressed are my own. It’s summertime, and the living is easy, because…
Party Potato Pave Bites with Cheese Sauce
Any time I go to out to eat, I devour the fries that came with my dish first and save most of the actual meal for leftovers. It sounds ridiculous, but I live and die for potatoes. It must be the Irish in me.* The path to my happiness is paved with warm, crispy-edged, fluffy-centered…
Spinach and Artichoke Dip Baked Potatoes
This recipe for Spinach and Artichoke Dip Baked Potatoes has also been featured on Serious Eats. Have any of you ever done those DNA heritage tests? I did, mainly to try to fill in gaps in my family tree (which I’ve been working on for eons), and to figure out what debilitating diseases I’m at a…
Hot Honey Garlic Sweet Potato Bake
Brace yourself for an unpopular opinion:
Buffalo Chicken & Ranch Potato Croquettes
This post has been a loooong time coming. It was 2014 and the World Cup was being held in Brazil when I heard about coxhina for the first time. The teardrop-shaped street food typically consists of a fried potato dough exterior and creamy, shredded chicken filling. It’s extremely popular in Brazil, and extremely delicious. Or so…
Sheet-Pan Tandoori Chicken & Vegetables
If there was ever evidence of my incessant complaining having any sort of pull in this universe, it would be when the strip mall Indian joint appeared in this otherwise dull and flavorless town. Harsh, I know. But it’s true. In the months since it opened, James and I have eaten at that Indian restaurant… ah, more times than…
Balsamic-Red Wine Roasted Chicken Thighs and Vegetables
Chicken thighs and I have had a rocky relationship throughout the years. My mom always avoided them in favor of the leaner breast meat, and because she shied away from them, I thought that there was something inherently unappetizing about thighs. I avoided them at all costs, up until my twenties when I realized that so many recipes…
Crispy Sea Salt and Vinegar Roasted Potatoes
Ever since making the Crispy-Outside Creamy-Inside Garlic Herb Potatoes, I have been totally and utterly obsessed with making the perfect potato side dishes. When done properly, potatoes can actually be the stars of your meal, and they fly off the plate like nothing you’ve ever seen before. Especially if that plate happens to be placed…
Skillet Scalloped Potatoes
Put some cheese-covered carbs in front of me, and I get weak in the knees. You could serve up pasta with Parmesan, mac and cheese, or crusty bread with melted mozzarella, and I would dive in face-first with reckless abandon. Cheesy carbs of any sort are just my thang… but the true obliterator of any…
Crispy-Outside Creamy-Inside Garlic Herb Potatoes
I know that the name of this side dish is on the brink of ridiculousness, but I could not, for the life of me, think of a way to describe them that gave them justice. They’re so flavorful from the chicken stock, herbs, and garlic, and they have that texture combination that makes you swoon–…
Thyme Brown Butter Mashed Sweet Potatoes
I’m hardly the only person in the country who has a serious smorgasbord sprawled around the dining room table every Thanksgiving. My family always has the traditional staples– turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, cranberry sauce– and a few oddballs– Grandma Sandy’s steamed pork dumplings, whatever last-minute concoction I come up with, et cetera. However, there has…
