All The Potato Love

Potatoes are my favourite food. Not my favourite vegetable, my favourite food. I could eat potatoes in any variation at any given time, no questions asked. I guess you could say, I "stan" potatoes. (That's what y'all are saying now right?) Fried, boiled, mashed, roasted, smashed, salad, baked....all the ways. I'd go so far as to say that potatoes are kind of like, the ultimate vegetable because they are incredibly versatile and can be used in so many different preparations. 

I've created a variety of delicious potato recipes here at the blog. Soups, bakes, casseroles, tacos, you want it, I've got it. Let's celebrate our love of taters together with a few of my fav potato recipes I've shared.

Potato Lasagna

I love lasagna, but I especially love it when we swap out the noods for my absolute favourite veg. We've got layers of perfectly cooked, tender potatoes. We've got a garlicky, ricotta filling. We've got a vegetarian Bolognese sauce that is hearty and delicious. When everything comes together, we've got a lasagna, potato style. 

This recipe is a bit time consuming but it's worth it when you slice in and serve it up. Potatoes for the win <3

Potato Leek Soup

A good potato leek soup could be creamy, or it could be brothy. It could be chunky, or it could be blended. Most importantly, it's potato forward and full of delicious leeks. This version is broth based. It's got a good amount of heat in every bite, chunky, tender potatoes, and a yummy broth.

This was actually my very first potato leek soup recipe I wrote. Many versions have come after it but it remains one of my faves. 

Caprese Hasselback Potatoes

Hasselback potatoes are worth every ounce of time and effort put into them. Each individual slice gets so crispy, they're delightful. They're even better when you go so far as to stuff them with fresh, delicious ingredients. My Caprese version has melty bocconcini, sliced Romas, and fresh basil. Finished with a drizzle of balsamic reduction and grated grana padano, these hasselbacks are to die for!

Creamy Celery & Potato Soup

Get rid of your canned cream soups and just make them from scratch. It couldn't be easier and they're leaps and bounds better than anything you'll ever get in a can. This creamy celery and potato soup has all the celery and potato you could ever hope for, swimming in a lusciously creamy soup. Finished with some peppery celery leaves and fresh chives, it's comfort in a bowl.
