Comforting and Delightful: Elevate Your Dinner with these Mouth-watering Potato Recipes

Potatoes are one of those rare ingredients that can be cooked in countless ways and still manage to make us feel satisfied every time. In this post, we'll cover three incredible recipes that are perfect for a winter night dinner, served with a warm and comforting sauce to fulfill your indulgence cravings.

Twice Baked Potatoes with Garlic and Parmesan Cheese

• 4 large potatoes
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• ½ cup milk
• 3 tbsp butter
• Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 400 F (200 C). Scrub the potatoes and poke them with a fork several times, then bake for about an hour, or until the flesh feels tender when pierced with a knife.
2. Cut the potatoes into halves and scoop out the flesh with a spoon into a bowl. Mash the flesh with garlic, Parmesan cheese, milk, butter, and salt and pepper until you get a creamy and smooth mixture.
3. Place the mixture inside the emptied potato shells and sprinkle with some more grated cheese on top. Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, until the cheese appears golden and bubbling.

Pan-fried Baby Potatoes in Truffle Oil and Rosemary

• 12-16 baby potatoes
• 2 tbsp truffle oil
• 2 sprigs rosemary
• 1 tsp kosher salt
• ½ tsp black pepper

Instructions:

1. Wash and dry the baby potatoes thoroughly. Slice in half if too big.
2. In a pan over medium heat, warm up the truffle oil and rosemary sprigs until fragrant, for about a minute. Remove the sprigs from the oil.
3. Add the halved potatoes to the pan and sprinkle salt and pepper evenly across the surface. Mix the potatoes with the truffle oil until evenly coated and cook for about ten minutes, stirring occasionally. You'll know they're ready when the skin looks crispy, and the insides appear soft.
4. Transfer to a dish and serve hot, sprinkling some more rosemary as an optional finishing touch.

Scalloped Potatoes with Gruyere and Thyme Cream Sauce

• 6 russet potatoes, peeled and sliced thinly
• 2 cups heavy cream
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 1/2 cups grated gruyere cheese
• 3-4 sprigs thyme
• 1 tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 375 F (190 C).
2. In a saucepan, warm the heavy cream, garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper over medium heat until it comes to a light boil, allowing to simmer for around two minutes.
3. In a casserole or oven-safe dish, layer the sliced potatoes then coat them with some of the heated cream mixture until evenly spread, sprinkle grated gruyere cheese on top, and press gently. Repeat layers but leave extra cheese for top layer only.
4. Bake for 45-50 minutes, depending on your desired level of crispiness. Allow them to sit for five minutes before slicing and serve hot.

These potato dishes put ordinary home-cooked meals over and above, emitting feelings of warmth and satisfaction, making a one-time dish at dinner time not enough. Sharing is optional.
