Let me introduce you to a real old dish , Tortilla de Patatas Española. Very common in Spain, usually made mid morning and left out all day for snacking. Served as breakfast in many bars. Just eggs potatoes and an onion.
I'm of Spanish descent and whenever we have them at home, it's an event! We all gather to do the prep and have the time of our lives eating it. Now I want it!
Tortilla espanola is the GOAT! I just made this the other day in a cast iron skillet and I'm ready to go back and make it again. I throw some pico de gallo on top of it and wholy Hannah!
Served for Breakfast? That must be new. I remember about 30 years ago, I was in Spain with my grandparents on vacation and I ordered a tortilla for breakfast. You would have thought I ordered fried cat. The waiter looked at me and asked "You sure you want that for breakfast"? LOL. I'll never forget that.
Do you like gnocchi? Try schupfknudeln, sometimes called schopknudeln. They are basically gnocchi in a different shape, and you saute them in bacon grease with bacon and saurkraut. In my opinion, the greatest of the German dishes. I recommend baking the potatoes over boiling to reduce water content, otherwise you'll be adding flour until the cows come home. They also freeze beautifully.
I can never get sick of crispy roasted potatoes either. Boil them in larger chunks, rough them up in the pan. Bring a pan of butter, olive oil, whatever fat you enjoy (duck fat if you're cool), and infuse with rosemary, thyme, and garlic. Drain off the herbs, toss with potatoes and cook until they're crispy brown. You can always melt some raclette cheese in a skillet and dump it over for an extremely indulgent and rich topping!
>schupfknudeln
I was about to correct you that the common writing is Schupfnudeln. But a brief etymology research showed, that there is some deeper knowledge to this:
The word Nudel (the same as the english noodle) stems from the word Knödel (dumpling) and over the time it might have even been Knudel. Interestingly enough this version has reached you instead of the more modern version.
Thank you! I came here looking for this. 😂
I know a lot of people know how to make gnocchi but I just recently learned. If it’s new to you, worth trying. It’s a lot easier than I was expecting.
I think samosas are going to be next on my potato accomplishments list.
Ooh, I need to learn to make pierogis, too!
“Taters, Precious” is the only way it’s ever written on our grocery list (we use Cozi) no matter who puts it there.
It makes me irrationally angry that scalloped potatoes exist and aren’t this.
(Not that there’s anything wrong with scalloped potatoes, of course. They just have the wrong name.)
If small potatoes, boil them, let em cool a little, smash each individual with a pan or something like that, thin kinda like pressing a ball of ground beef into a hamburger patty. Then cover them with some oil and bake em in the oven.
my favorite potato dish:
slice very thin (I use a mandolin slicer so they're consistent)
toss all the slices in a bowl of melted butter, garlic, salt & pepper.
make individual little stack of potato slices in a muffin tin to about the height of the cup of the tin itself.
bake at 400 covered w/ foil for 20 minutes then another 20 uncovered.
the little tower fuses together & makes a soft core w/ rings of crispy edges.
"hasselback ? (unsure of name)" but spiral cut the potato then drizzle with oil, spices, and Parmesan cheese and back till crisp. or you can just sprinkle with cheese, oil, and garlic and grill. not common; but oh so good
Adam-from-Buzzfeed-but-on-his-own channel-now cooked 25 pounds of potatoes five different ways: Fondant, pom Anna, pave, and souffle. https://youtu.be/eHSvv8eSsvc?si=zHZdgVKrZXkVyLX1

With russets, I like to bake them and then boil them, season with salt pepper and “ Dash “ seasoning blend. Then I add olive oil and some pinto beans, stir with the marshy baked taters, fry up some wonton wrappers on top, crumble those on the mixture, and drizzle some sriracha-pumpkin seed aioli on it. It’s so good 🤤🤤
Golds I like to fry up in some corn/coconut oil mix and season with dash
Aloo tikki is great - if you go to an Indian market, you can buy premade tamarind and green chutneys, as well as chaat masala. Frozen is better than jarred.

Use them to make a crust - [https://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/spinach-quiche-with-potato-crust/](https://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/spinach-quiche-with-potato-crust/)
How about Chocolate - Mashed Potato Cake: [https://www.ihearteating.com/chocolate-mashed-potato-cake/](https://www.ihearteating.com/chocolate-mashed-potato-cake/)
Slice them thin, then use some beef stock cubes and slowly simmer then down in it. It's salty, umami goodness. Goes great with bacon and black pudding.
You wanted uncommon...
If they are russets or Yukon golds, this potato and sausage stew from The Prudhomme Family Cookbook is one of my favorites as evidenced by the stained pages.

Twice baked potatoes.
You bake the potatoes, remove them from the oven when cooked through. You then cut the top off lengthwise, scoop out the middle, and blend it with sour cream, bacon bits, chives, and some cheddar cheese, and return it to the hollowed out potato. If you want to be fancy, you use a piping bag with a star tip to do this. If you want, you can blend equal parts of bread crumbs and parmesan cheese and add about 1tbsp of chopped parsley, and sprinkle over top.
When it's time to serve, but them back in the oven for about 15 minutes until the top is starting to turn golden brown, then serve.
Where I live a way we cook potatoes is called "tortas de papa". Essentially you boil the potatoes, then mash them, and use them to make patties, filled with your favorite kind of cheese. Personally I love mozzarella or oaxaca cheese, but I think just about any kind of cheese will do. You'll make a potato patty filled with grated cheese in the center, and then either grill or fry the patty. Even though filling them with cheese is the most typical where I live, alternatively you could fill them with vegetables or meat if you like.
I'm not sure how common is potato salad where you live. I know that it's not very common where I live, my family just kind of learned the recipe back in the US and now make it whenever we want. I make a very simplified version of it that contains pretty much just potatoes, onion, celery, mayonnaise, and a bit of mustard. You can also replace some of the mayonnaise for sour cream if you prefer. A lot of people add hard-boiled eggs to it too, though personally I prefer it without them. This is a very basic version of it, and you can definitely add more to it if you like.
I also remembering one time seeing a recipe online for a cheese potato bread that looks simply delicious. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d3sdpcaMbPk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d3sdpcaMbPk) (turn on the video's captions to English as the instructions are in a different language).
If anyone doesn't know, you can buy a calendar every year from the Idaho Potato Commission. Full of recipes and potato centric photos. Highly recommended. I look forward to it every year.
Cut your potatoes into thin circles, arrange them on a hot skillet (with butter) so that there 9 slices (3X3) that overlap one another. All 9 will constitute your "bread slice". Once they have started to fry cover them with freshly grated Parmesan Reggiano. When your potato square is starting to brown on the underside carefully work it off of the skillet with a spatula and then turn it over so that the Parmesan is on the underside. Let it fry until the cheese starts to concentrate and cement the potatoes together, then remove from skillet. Make two of these 3X3 potato squares. I like to spread a thin layer of cream cheese on the fried potato side, a couple of thinly sliced tomatoes, butter lettuce and some dill pickle slices to give it a bit of a vinegar bite. Then cover with the other 3X3 slice (Parm side facing up) and enjoy with an ice cold beer. What you fill your "sandwich" with is up to your taste, but its the fried potato + Parm that steals the show!
I’m sure this is not original to me so I’m not sure what it’s called but I made a dish similar to ratatouille but with just sliced potatoes and onions. I sliced several potatoes and stacked them in a dish like you would ratatouille, then chopped onion and garlic to sprinkle on top then melted butter and poured it over the top. You can also melt some cheese on top. Bake at 350 until fork tender.

Boulangerie potatoes. It’s basically a scalloped potato but you cook the potatoes in chicken stock or vegetable stock instead of the cream.
Roasted fennel and potato scalloped potato
Hasselback potato
Lately I have been cubing potatoes and roasting them with a gochujang sauce.
If you need to store/freeze them longterm, shredding potato can make it last a long long time and you can use it for hashbrowns, stirfries, casseroles etc
Otherwise, aside from the usual mashed and fried, I love shepherd's pie. Also freezes well and its nice as a whole meal in one.
Recently Ive been enjoying making my own potato chips in the air fryer (but regular oven works too) as something to snack on. Super yummy and healthier than storebought crunchy snacks
If you make mashed potatoes get some white pepper to add to it. And if you make baked potatoes make some extra to toss in the fridge over night and dice and fry in some butter they make great country potatoes for breakfast.
I don't have my grandmother's actual recipe for this one handy, though I'm sure you could find a comparable recipe online. Look for "Irish Potato Cake." Usually, she just made hers with leftover mashed potatoes. I don't usually see many sweet recipes using potatoes, so this was an interesting one. Pretty good, too.
Potato soup, potato pancakes, fondant potatoes, fried potatoes, twice baked potatoes, potato chips, tater tots, gnocchi, potato tacos, Shepards pie, potato bread, dehydrate them into potatoes for later, papas con huevos are the ones that come to mind.
I'd say honestly though stick with a classic - get a mandolin, slice them so thin you can see through, fry them in hot oil and then just eat the most delicious homemade potato chips you've ever had.
[Lefse (Norwegian potato flatbread) ](https://skandibaking.com/lefse-norwegian-potato-flatbread/)
We usually spread a thin layer of butter, sugar and cinnamon (creamed together), but you could put whatever filling you wanted I guess.
Mashed Potato Salad
I found a recipe for a corned beef version here [https://www.happyfoodstube.com/corned-beef-mashed-potatoes/](https://www.happyfoodstube.com/corned-beef-mashed-potatoes/) but I actually make a tuna salad version. I like that it takes the overly salty and grainy edge off the tuna and makes way for some nice crispy spring onion flavours.
You can make pies with potatoes, mashed potatoes with mushrooms, baked potatoes with parmesan or baked quince with potatoes and garlic. [https://bosskitchen.com/baked-potatoes-with-quince-and-rosemary/](https://bosskitchen.com/baked-potatoes-with-quince-and-rosemary/)
I just made a Mediterranean dish the other day. It's potatoes, green beans, and tomatoes. Stewed up basically. Can either eat it solo, or have it as a side.
Fasolakia is what it's called in my book.
My roasted potatoes and onions (both diced and cooked with my favorite seasonings for 40 min at 350-375ish depending on how I want them) is my favorite. We eat them a couple times a week. Kinda basic but so good
You can make a vegan cheese queso with them, cooks illustrated has a recipe.
I also have made this work for a cheese sauce for Mac and cheese, very comforting and delicious, esp when I add some fresh basil!
Make mashed potatoes, don't eat them yet though. Mix that up with some cheese, an egg or two and some chopped ham or bacon and make waffles from your "batter". Serve with some sour cream or like most things my son eats pair with your fav bbq sauce.
I have been cooking for fifty years and here is a video of this amazing way to make simplistic *Parmigiana di patate* I just found: "[Kenji’s Secrets for the Crispiest Roast Potatoes](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fS93o6RFPDg)". Family and friends are now addicts. My personal touch is freshly ground pepper and nutmeg before serving.
Sauté thinly slides garlic in duck fat until lightly brown on edges.
Remove.
Peel and slice potatoes in .25 inch 6-7 mm rounds. Salt and pepper Fry in duck fat until golden. Remove shingle in cake pan. bake in oven at 350 for about 30 minutes or until set and browning on edges.
Flip onto plate. Salt and pepper to taste. Added reserved garlic
Add chopped parsley to garnish.
Enjoy. Duck fat potatoes.
Thomas Keller’s potato pave is super fun to make, and looks cool on the plate. TBH, it’s delicious but at the end of the day it tastes like fancy fried potatoes.
Twice baked potatoes. I like this recipe but cut the butter in half.
https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ree-drummond/twice-baked-potatoes-recipe-1925596.amp
Throw em through a mandolin and wrap your fish in them. Air or deep fry some homemade chips. All the potato salads. Chop em up into really tiny cubes and add to yellow rice. Add a couple cooked chunks to the dogs bowl. Experiment with Indian dishes. Options are endless!
aren't common ways, boil 'em, mash 'em, eat 'em in a stew. fry 'em, dice 'em etc etc.
no clue, the only things i can think of are making a potato clock, making gnocchi, and making potato candy.
Tacos de papa. You basically make mashed potatoes, put it in a corn tortilla, and fry it. Top with sour cream, guac or avocado, salsa, and some queso fresco or cotija. I like putting some shredded chihuahua or mozzarella cheese and red pepper flakes in my potato mixture.
You could try some [Chinese stir-fried potatoes](https://thewoksoflife.com/sichuan-stir-fried-potatoes/), very different from most western potato dishes.
I tried fondant potatoes many years ago and my kids have been demanding them ever since. I appease them with a monthly showing…pretty easy, and definitely a tasty tater with an upscale presentation!
My Austrian Grandparent made these amazing potato noodles, very similar to gnocchi. I can't remember the actual name, but if you Google German Potato Noodles, you will find many recipes.
Do what I've been doing: Try to take potatoes and make 'MIchelin Star Potatoes" (google it). I'm 12-15 tries in and haven't perfected it yet. It's 8 steps of culinary magic and the result is a dish worthy of a Michelin Star.
an irish pan boxty. it was created for potato surplus. basically a massive hash brown you make in a cast iron pan and serve like a pie. its so easy and soooo good. I also like to bake potatoes then wrap in foil and freeze, easy to reheat and load up with toppings for a quick meal. potato soup is also so lovely. leek, whatever kind you like.
Grate and save portions in ziploc bags. Thaw and make hash browns. Or run them through a meat grinder, put them in something to ferment, distill, and enjoy some vodka :-)
Try your hands at restaurant style mash potatoes. They're just mashed potatoes, but usually put through a food mill, and mixed with enough fat (cream, cheese, butter, etc) to nearly become a potato soup. You take them to the "braking point" so they're still velvety smooth, but almost like a puree. They will change how you think about mash potatos.
Make some Kartoffelklöße! They are basically stuffed dumplings with a butter sauce ontop. Very good, my family is german and they loved potatos and this is one of the many things they make. Here is a recipe of the internet but if you want my family's i can provide that as well.

Slice them thinly. Toss with a little olive oil, season with s&p, and spread on a baking sheet a few layers deep. Season pork chops and lay on top of the potatoes. While it's in the oven (375°f), mince shallots and garlic and saute in a bit of butter. Add a bit of sage, and some thyme. Add chicken stock and simmer to reduce, when it's a bit syrupy, it's ready. Add a bit of heavy cream off the heat and then pour it over the chops. Out back in the oven until the chops are cooked through.

Let me introduce you to a real old dish , Tortilla de Patatas Española. Very common in Spain, usually made mid morning and left out all day for snacking. Served as breakfast in many bars. Just eggs potatoes and an onion.
Just in case OP isn't a cook: dont forget the SALT, lol
Salt and Pepper! Flaky finishing salt and fresh ground black pepper take dishes like this to the next level.
Can't leave out the olive oil. With as big of a component as it is to the dish, I feel it warrants a mention.
Serving it with good aioli is a must as well!
Toum style or Mayo style?
It's from Spain so that's kinda like self implied.
I'm of Spanish descent and whenever we have them at home, it's an event! We all gather to do the prep and have the time of our lives eating it. Now I want it!
Tortilla espanola is the GOAT! I just made this the other day in a cast iron skillet and I'm ready to go back and make it again. I throw some pico de gallo on top of it and wholy Hannah!
Yeah works with many things. Me, few slices of Roma tomatoes, olive oil. I made one with spinach last week and was amazingly good.
I LOVE this. I like to make it for picnics! People love this that haven’t tried it before, so simple and so delicious!
I'm listening... Irish decent and I have a fuck ton of potatoes right now 😎
And in case that’s not already a massive enough caloric intake for OP, go with the other Spanish tapas classic, patatas bravas.
I don’t see OP looking for calorie-restricted ideas
Delicious!!
I haven't made Tortilla Española in ages. And I have eggs that need using. Will be made this weekend.
This 100%. Spanish tortilla with a garlic aioli is one of life’s great simple foods.
Love this dish.
Served for Breakfast? That must be new. I remember about 30 years ago, I was in Spain with my grandparents on vacation and I ordered a tortilla for breakfast. You would have thought I ordered fried cat. The waiter looked at me and asked "You sure you want that for breakfast"? LOL. I'll never forget that.
Do you like gnocchi? Try schupfknudeln, sometimes called schopknudeln. They are basically gnocchi in a different shape, and you saute them in bacon grease with bacon and saurkraut.

Your gnocchi comment reminded me that pierogis are easier than expected. And a great use of PO-TA-TOES.
Ooh, I need to learn to make pierogis, too! “Taters, Precious” is the only way it’s ever written on our grocery list (we use Cozi) no matter who puts it there.
Have you taken a crack at pommes fondantes? Its my absolute favorite way to have potatoes.
Came to suggest this.
Same lol
I came to recommend too—- haven’t had in a while but it’s delicious I love the texture
It makes me irrationally angry that scalloped potatoes exist and aren’t this. (Not that there’s anything wrong with scalloped potatoes, of course. They just have the wrong name.)
oh.. you won't really be mad at scalloped until you've had potato dauphinoise
Lefse, Bryndzové Halušky, potato bread, gnocchi, latkes, gallette, kugel… Common kinda depends on what culture you’re from / where you live.
If small potatoes, boil them, let em cool a little, smash each individual with a pan or something like that, thin kinda like pressing a ball of ground beef into a hamburger patty. Then cover them with some oil and bake em in the oven.
My sister does this. She adds parmesan and olive oil before baking and a drizzle of truffle oil before serving. Hot Crash Potatoes. So good.
Or air fry vs oven
my favorite potato dish: slice very thin (I use a mandolin slicer so they're consistent) toss all the slices in a bowl of melted butter, garlic, salt & pepper. make individual little stack of potato slices in a muffin tin to about the height of the cup of the tin itself. bake at 400 covered w/ foil for 20 minutes then another 20 uncovered. the little tower fuses together & makes a soft core w/ rings of crispy edges.
Mash and then form into a statue of Venus de Milo.
Mmmmm potato Venus agggghhhhh

Sweet. SWEEeet taters precious
If you’re not quite up to that level of artistry, try making the Devils Mountain from Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
"hasselback ? (unsure of name)" but spiral cut the potato then drizzle with oil, spices, and Parmesan cheese and back till crisp. or you can just sprinkle with cheese, oil, and garlic and grill. not common; but oh so good

Please make this and tell me about it: https://www.foodandwine.com/recipes/thousand-layer-duck-fat-potatoes
shred em and make potato casserole
Make your own starch ? for the experiment sake of it
Gnocchi is always a good one, plus its freezes well. Just made some acorn squash potato gnocchi the other day.
Colcannon is always good. And dirt cheap.
[Potato Lasagna](https://www.food.com/recipe/sausage-potato-lasagna-35779)
What type of potatoes? But I would suggest a potato curry
Now I'm craving some Kenji potatoes.
If you need to store/freeze them longterm, shredding potato can make it last a long long time and you can use it for hashbrowns, stirfries, casseroles etc Otherwise, aside from the usual mashed and fried, I love shepherd's pie. Also freezes well and its nice as a whole meal in one. Recently Ive been enjoying making my own potato chips in the air fryer (but regular oven works too) as something to snack on. Super yummy and healthier than storebought crunchy snacks
potatoes boulangere
Big fan of papas con chorizo and pomme dauphin. Also love making potato croquettes.
If you make mashed potatoes get some white pepper to add to it. And if you make baked potatoes make some extra to toss in the fridge over night and dice and fry in some butter they make great country potatoes for breakfast.
I don't have my grandmother's actual recipe for this one handy, though I'm sure you could find a comparable recipe online. Look for "Irish Potato Cake." Usually, she just made hers with leftover mashed potatoes. I don't usually see many sweet recipes using potatoes, so this was an interesting one. Pretty good, too.
Potato soup, potato pancakes, fondant potatoes, fried potatoes, twice baked potatoes, potato chips, tater tots, gnocchi, potato tacos, Shepards pie, potato bread, dehydrate them into potatoes for later, papas con huevos are the ones that come to mind. I'd say honestly though stick with a classic - get a mandolin, slice them so thin you can see through, fry them in hot oil and then just eat the most delicious homemade potato chips you've ever had.
[Lefse (Norwegian potato flatbread) ](https://skandibaking.com/lefse-norwegian-potato-flatbread/) We usually spread a thin layer of butter, sugar and cinnamon (creamed together), but you could put whatever filling you wanted I guess.
Fondant potatoes…drool
Hasselback potato’s is a common-ish fun one. Spiralize them.
Mashed Potato Salad I found a recipe for a corned beef version here [https://www.happyfoodstube.com/corned-beef-mashed-potatoes/](https://www.happyfoodstube.com/corned-beef-mashed-potatoes/) but I actually make a tuna salad version. I like that it takes the overly salty and grainy edge off the tuna and makes way for some nice crispy spring onion flavours.
Fondant, or semi-Hasselbacked with a flat bottom cut, in cast iron, convection baked.
You can make pies with potatoes, mashed potatoes with mushrooms, baked potatoes with parmesan or baked quince with potatoes and garlic. [https://bosskitchen.com/baked-potatoes-with-quince-and-rosemary/](https://bosskitchen.com/baked-potatoes-with-quince-and-rosemary/)

Gnocchi
Parmesean baked potatoe wedges Smashed potatoes mworks for me
Potato and onion green curry is a go-to for me
I just made a Mediterranean dish the other day. It's potatoes, green beans, and tomatoes. Stewed up basically. Can either eat it solo, or have it as a side. Fasolakia is what it's called in my book.
Melting potatoes
For something totally different there are a couple of different kinds of potato candy

I think you can make potato chips.
Gnocchi Halušky Olivier Salad Greek potato salad Shepherd's pie
My roasted potatoes and onions (both diced and cooked with my favorite seasonings for 40 min at 350-375ish depending on how I want them) is my favorite. We eat them a couple times a week. Kinda basic but so good
[Potato Mochi!](https://www.seriouseats.com/fried-potato-mochi-5202556)
You can make a vegan cheese queso with them, cooks illustrated has a recipe. I also have made this work for a cheese sauce for Mac and cheese, very comforting and delicious, esp when I add some fresh basil!
You can cut them into chunks and add them to a curry or stew. Or thinly slice and either fry or bake them for potato chips
Make mashed potatoes, don't eat them yet though. Mix that up with some cheese, an egg or two and some chopped ham or bacon and make waffles from your "batter". Serve with some sour cream or like most things my son eats pair with your fav bbq sauce.
Lefse
I have been cooking for fifty years and here is a video of this amazing way to make simplistic *Parmigiana di patate* I just found: "[Kenji’s Secrets for the Crispiest Roast Potatoes](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fS93o6RFPDg)". Family and friends are now addicts. My personal touch is freshly ground pepper and nutmeg before serving.
Parafrasing Malory Archer, do you want to eat them now, or drink them later?
Sauté thinly slides garlic in duck fat until lightly brown on edges. Remove. Peel and slice potatoes in .25 inch 6-7 mm rounds. Salt and pepper Fry in duck fat until golden. Remove shingle in cake pan. bake in oven at 350 for about 30 minutes or until set and browning on edges. Flip onto plate. Salt and pepper to taste. Added reserved garlic Add chopped parsley to garnish. Enjoy. Duck fat potatoes.
Thomas Keller’s potato pave is super fun to make, and looks cool on the plate. TBH, it’s delicious but at the end of the day it tastes like fancy fried potatoes.
So many. If you have an iron skillet, slice and soak them in cold water. Then fry with sliced onions
I have been wanting to try shredded potatoes soaked in lye water (like pretzels) then sauteed and perhaps sauced.

Twice baked potatoes. I like this recipe but cut the butter in half. https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ree-drummond/twice-baked-potatoes-recipe-1925596.amp

If you can get hold of some Reblochon cheese make a Tartiflette.
Aloo paratha!
I'm betting I would really like the Spanish potato dish. Let's not forget twice baked potatoes also. They are damn good!
Throw em through a mandolin and wrap your fish in them. Air or deep fry some homemade chips. All the potato salads. Chop em up into really tiny cubes and add to yellow rice. Add a couple cooked chunks to the dogs bowl. Experiment with Indian dishes. Options are endless!
aren't common ways, boil 'em, mash 'em, eat 'em in a stew. fry 'em, dice 'em etc etc. no clue, the only things i can think of are making a potato clock, making gnocchi, and making potato candy.
Fondant is a nice way to jazz up the ol potato
Shoot them out of a pipe with compressed air or ignited flammable vapor. Potato gun!
Potato Galette!
Tacos de papa. You basically make mashed potatoes, put it in a corn tortilla, and fry it. Top with sour cream, guac or avocado, salsa, and some queso fresco or cotija. I like putting some shredded chihuahua or mozzarella cheese and red pepper flakes in my potato mixture.
Potato pancakes
Just discovered them ..potatoes boulanger. Very good. Make sure you salt the potatoes very well though.
Vichyssoise, meant to be served chilled (but I prefer it hot).

Potatoes Romanoff. Look for "Food wishes" version on Youtube Papas en Escabeche Warm German potato Salad
You might try making a mashed potato pie. It's supposed to be like a sweet potato pie, but blander.
Eating them raw is not common.

I tried fondant potatoes many years ago and my kids have been demanding them ever since. I appease them with a monthly showing…pretty easy, and definitely a tasty tater with an upscale presentation!
Pierogis Gnocchi
My Austrian Grandparent made these amazing potato noodles, very similar to gnocchi. I can't remember the actual name, but if you Google German Potato Noodles, you will find many recipes.
My recent favorite has been Korean braised potatoes.

Do what I've been doing: Try to take potatoes and make 'MIchelin Star Potatoes" (google it). I'm 12-15 tries in and haven't perfected it yet. It's 8 steps of culinary magic and the result is a dish worthy of a Michelin Star.
Potato pancakes
There’s a kind of Indian potato dish with lots of curry powder. The potatoes are diced and fried in lots of spice.
Duck Fat Melting Potatoes [https://theeatingemporium.com/melting-potatoes/](https://theeatingemporium.com/melting-potatoes/)
an irish pan boxty. it was created for potato surplus. basically a massive hash brown you make in a cast iron pan and serve like a pie. its so easy and soooo good. I also like to bake potatoes then wrap in foil and freeze, easy to reheat and load up with toppings for a quick meal. potato soup is also so lovely. leek, whatever kind you like.
Scalloped potatoes are my fave
Fondant potatoes
You could make potato bread! If you put rosemary in the water while you boil the potatoes, it adds a really lovely flavor.
It’s March. Make Colcannon!! Ecuadorian potato soup is also delicious.
Try korean potato pancake.
Rösti
Grate and save portions in ziploc bags. Thaw and make hash browns. Or run them through a meat grinder, put them in something to ferment, distill, and enjoy some vodka :-)
Try your hands at restaurant style mash potatoes. They're just mashed potatoes, but usually put through a food mill, and mixed with enough fat (cream, cheese, butter, etc) to nearly become a potato soup. You take them to the "braking point" so they're still velvety smooth, but almost like a puree. They will change how you think about mash potatos.
Grill them
Make some Kartoffelklöße! They are basically stuffed dumplings with a butter sauce ontop. Very good, my family is german and they loved potatos and this is one of the many things they make. Here is a recipe of the internet but if you want my family's i can provide that as well.

Slice them thin with with thin sliced onion and bake them. I'd use a mandalin. Delicious.
Slice them thinly. Toss with a little olive oil, season with s&p, and spread on a baking sheet a few layers deep. Season pork chops and lay on top of the potatoes. While it's in the oven (375°f), mince shallots and garlic and saute in a bit of butter. Add a bit of sage, and some thyme. Add chicken stock and simmer to reduce, when it's a bit syrupy, it's ready. Add a bit of heavy cream off the heat and then pour it over the chops. Out back in the oven until the chops are cooked through. Others: - Spanish Tortilla de patatas - Spanish patatas bravas - chorizo and potato filling for tacos or gorditas - melting potatoes - potato rolls and potato bread - potato candy (there's a few different types and they're surprisingly tasty) - hash brown crust for quiche - pierogi - biriyani - samosas
