Cast-Iron-Roasted Potatoes

Oxmoor House

You don't have to fry potatoes to get them crispy. In this recipe, a big, heavy cast-iron skillet sits (empty) in a 350-degree oven until it's so hot that when you drop quartered, skin-on red potatoes in, along with a touch of oil, they sizzle and brown on contact. After another 45 minutes in the heat, they're crunchy on the outside and soft inside.

Smashed Potatoes With Garlic And Herbs

 

This game-changing technique will alter your view of just how delicious a potato can be. First, you cook baby new potatoes in simmering water just until they're soft enough that you can smash them slightly with the bottom of your fist. Then, you transfer them to a baking pan, coat them with olive oil and salt and slide them into a blazing-hot oven. The banged-up edges of the potatoes will be brown and crisp, while the insides will be soft and pillowy.

Oven-Baked Fries

Thinkstock

Since Elizabeth Gordon, author of The Complete Allergy-Free Comfort Foods Cookbook, must avoid wheat, she can't eat french fries at restaurants because too many breaded items go into the fryer with or before the fries. Her at-home solution is to use the oven. She says russet potatoes crisp up nicely if you bake them on an unlined metal baking sheet.

Creamless Mashed Potatoes

Southern Art

Plain yogurt makes these mashed potatoes reliably creamy but also adds a new element: a slight tang, similar to what you'd get from mayonnaise. At Southern Art restaurant in Atlanta, executive chef Anthony Gray mixes in roasted garlic, scallions, rosemary and a splash of chicken broth too.
