Your Next Comfort Meal Begins With One Of These 12 Potato Recipes

This collection of potato recipes is one to sink into now.

Mashed, boiling, oven-baked or deep fried? There are so many ways to enhance the humble potato.

This collection trials many, creating crispy, smooth and creamy textures slathered in punchy and cheesy flavours.

Choose your potatoes according to the recipe cooking methods. Agria (yellow) potatoes are best suited to roasting and mashing, and usually have more natural flavour. White potatoes are a little plainer and tend to hold their shape better and work for fussier recipes.
