Our Best Ideas for Potatoes

We’ve all questioned if sweet potatoes are actually healthier than white potatoes. (Nutrition facts show they might not be that different after all!) And whether it’s safe to eat sprouted potatoes has probably crossed your mind before too. (It can be!) But have you ever wondered how to grow potatoes? It isn't difficult at all, and you can grow many varieties of this staple ingredient in your very own garden. And, trust us, between mashed potatoes, baked potatoes, scalloped potatoes (and more!), you'll never have a hard time using up your bounty. If you find yourself harvesting small red or white potatoes, we suggest the first dish you make with them is Ina’s garlic roasted potatoes. They're a fan-favorite for good reason: They come out perfectly crispy every time.

Shepherd's Pie Potato Bowls

Don't be fooled. These aren't ordinary twice-baked potatoes: beneath the golden mashed potato top is a rich beef and vegetable filling. And unlike your casserole dish, the potato bowls are also edible.
