20 Crispy Potato Recipes from Breakfast to Dessert

Potatoes are the epitome of comfort food. The best part about spuds? There are truly endless ways to enjoy them! While all the classics are included here — roasted, hashed, mashed, riced, tated — I also threw in some creative takes from restuarants around North America!

You’ve got ideas for breakfast, lunch, dinner and even dessert!

1. Rib Eye + Potato Galette

In this recipe, we’re getting both the crispy and creamy notes with thinly sliced, buttery Russet potatoes layered and cooked till we get a nice crunch on the outside with a smooth consistent texture on the inside.

Optionally topping this with a medium rare rib eye with bordelaise sauce will take this dinner to the next level.

3. Gorditas

What's better than a food pocket, filled with all your favorite toppings? Although you can fill these gorditas with anything you'd like, we can't get enough of this Asientos (pork), potato and Monterey Jack cheese filling.

A classic potato salad is a must-have at every picnic and BBQ, and this one is the best — it's creamy and tangy, with a little bit of crunch from the onion and celery. If you’re looking for a classic, quick to prepare, no-fuss potato salad that won’t disappoint, this is it.

Authors Note: This recipe calls for diced potatoes which can give the roges a chunkier texture. We usually boil and then rice the potatoes for a smoother, more consistent texture and flavour profile.

Pierogies are a great family activity that gets everyone involved. We do this almost every time we visit my partners family and it’s a blast!

Last note. Also try replacing the traditional filling with blueberry or cherry pie filling for dessert pierogies. The kids love these!
