Ahhh Potatoes, how I love thee. I am one of the biggest fans of potatoes, I probably eat them at minimum 5 meals a week. They are one of the most versatile vegetables out there. You can boil, bake or roast, mash, fry, or use them in soups, stews, and curries. It's so easy to eat them regularly when you consider how many ways you can prepare them.

I've shared a link to a post about 35 of the best tater recipes. I went through them and decided I had to share them with y'all. Aside from the very few recipes shared containing meat, most of the recipes are vegetarian and can easily be made vegan. Scalloped potatoes, roasted potatoes with accompanying dipping sauces, and several luxurious versions of mashed taters can be found in the link. I dare you to check it out and NOT eat potatoes tonight!

I figure this is a great opportunity to go through some of my old recipes and find my top 5 potato recipes. I've written quite a few recipes with potatoes but there are definitely some that stand out more than others. 

Here are 5 of my favourite potato recipes that I've shared over the last 2 and a half years!

1. MASHED POTATO CROQUETTES

Crispy on the outside and so utterly creamy and fabulous on the inside, potato croquettes are definitely in my top 5. In this recipe, I've stuffed them with a little cheddar and peas but you can use any kind of cheese you're fond of and any combination of ingredients you're fond of. Potato croquettes are versatile and you can play around with everything until you find the perfect combination. MY RECIPE is simple and satisfying so check it out!

2. EGGPLANT & POTATO CURRY

The day potatoes met curry, my heart stood still. I absolutely love the smell and flavour of curry and could eat it everyday. This recipe is great because it's super simple and features fresh eggplant and delicious potatoes swimming in a creamy curry infused sauce. It's so divine, you'll definitely be longing for seconds!

3. PARSLEY AND MINT POTATO SALAD

I'm a sucker for a creamy, mayo based potato salad but there are so many versions of traditional potato salad that don't use mayo and are equally as delicious. My vinaigrette version is divine and features the flavours of fresh mint and parsley giving it a beautiful colour and flavour to boot. This salad is a great accompaniment to so many main courses that you will want to have it on hand often!

4. POTATO & PARSNIP GRATIN

I've made plenty of gratins in my day but this one had to be my absolute favourite. A gratin is basically creamy on the bottom, thinly sliced potatoes, and a crispy bread crumb topping. This version includes sweet and delicious parsnips which really take the flavours up a notch. It's every bit as satisfying as it looks so save this recipe in your favourites page!

5. CREAMY PESTO POTATO SOUP

Potato soup is a classic. Creamy and delicious, it's such a simple soup to make. This particular soup gets a flavourful friend in fresh pesto. The pesto really brightens up the soup and gives it a robust, flavourful taste. It's an easy addition that makes a world of difference.
