Potatoes - We Love Them!

Potatoes are the best vegetable on the planet. I love them in any variation you can imagine. Roasted, baked, boiled, fried...they're perfect any way that you make them. I've been in love with potatoes since I was a child, right back to my days growing up with boiled potatoes on my plate. 

I've written some amazing potato recipes that really let potatoes shine as they should. Below are some of my fave tater recipes from the blog.

Potato Lasagna

Why use noodles when you can use potatoes? That's my philosophy anyways. Layers of thinly sliced potatoes, creamy, garlicky ricotta filling, and a vegetarian Bolognese sauce, baked until potatoes are tender. What you get is the most glorious potato dish, one that makes you forget that lasagna with noodles even exists.

Revisit the recipe above!

Potato Hash Skillet

A good potato hash is the perfect weekend brunch and also, the perfect bed for some beautifully cooked eggs. We've got tender, cubed potatoes, seasoned and pan fried until tender. We've got some supporting veg and spices as well as some perfectly cooked eggs to finish everything off.

​A hash skillet is a compete meal. Serve it up with some sliced up fruit to round things out. Recipe link above <3 

Melting Potatoes

There has never been a potato I enjoyed more than these melting potatoes. Also known as fondant potatoes, these beauties are seared in a hot skillet on one side until gorgeously golden and then filled with stock, butter, and accompanying flavours, and baked until the potatoes are undeniably smooth and creamy. These taters were life-changing for me y'all, I think about them all the time and honestly, I could eat the entire skillet if no one was around ;)

​Give them a bit of a twist by trying my Melting Patatas Bravas recipe. Same potatoes served up with a spicy red Bravas sauce and finished with sour cream and herbs. they're fabulous! Link below for that recipe!

Potato Leek Soup

Everyone has their own potato leek soup recipe and there are so many variations of the classic pairing out there. I've written some creamy versions, but I'm obsessed with this brothy potato leek soup.

Hunks of tender potatoes, perfectly cooked veg, and subtly sweet & delicious leeks. I make this soup at minimum, once a month. It's definitely become a staple for me.

HAPPY VEG
