I’ve never met a potato recipe I didn’t like. From potato chips to twice-baked potatoes, let us count the ways to love this root vegetable.
Every Christmas, my mom makes her famous party potatoes, which are second only in my spud-loving heart to her famous recipe for mashed potatoes. These are a little decadent so not something to whip up on just any Saturday night—or maybe so(?), YOLO. Nevertheless, party potatoes are a good addition to your side dish rotation and a must for any holiday gathering. Note: This is the dish that is always gone first at our holiday celebrations. Everyone from grandma to the kids is a huge fan.
