You say potato, we say we don’t care how you pronounce it, a potato is always welcome at our table—the more the merrier, actually! Both white and sweet potatoes are loaded with nutrition, so why not load up? You can turn them into so much, including creamy mashed potatoes, irresistible fries and hearty sweet potato casseroles. From weeknight standbys to impressive Thanksgiving side dishes, there’s no wrong way to eat a potato. Here, Tyler uses sweet potatoes, Nutmeg, thyme and garlic to give his 5-star scalloped potato gratin an earthy, rich flavor that combines perfectly with a sharper cheese like Parmesan.

We took inspiration from the wildly popular baked feta pasta recipe of TikTok fame and reimagined it to create a big-batch thanksgiving side dish. The best part is no more boiling water and crowding your stovetop. Instead, we put all the ingredients together in one dish and then bake it in the oven. Cooking the dish covered helps simmer and steam the potatoes at the same time, making them smooth and fluffy when mashed. The baked feta bubbles and melts into the potatoes to lend a subtle and delicious tanginess.
