Potato

Make this your night one camp-out dinner, when the fish is freshest.

These make-ahead packet meals are perfect for camping trips as well as quick and easy breakfasts on the go.

Egg salad and potato salad: Unite! We like how the still-soft yolks dress the salad, but you can cook the eggs a minute or two longer if you like them more set.

These potatoes steam away in the coals while you grill the rest of your meal. If you're not eating them right away, keep them in their foil pouches and rewarm them on the grill or in a 350°F oven before serving.

These dumplings have a light texture, thanks to the addition of fresh ricotta cheese. Drain the ricotta in a sieve for two hours before starting the recipe.

Squeezing the liquid out of the zucchini is the secret to crisp fritters. (The potato helps, too.)

Anytime you put crispy potatoes in a warm tortilla, it's a win.

You can steam and crush the potatoes in the morning if you'd like. The finished dish is great at room temp.

Crispy-potato crust > pastry crust. (And it's gluten-free too.)

Creamy on the inside and crackly on the outside, this kugel is completely irresistible.

Weeknight chowder? Use clam juice. Weekend? It's worth making fish stock from scratch.

Skip expensive store-bought stock: you can extract cleaner, stronger broth from water and a few pantry items you probably already have on hand (think bacon, tomato paste, herbs, peppercorns, a Parm rind, and, of course, kosher salt).

Double-baking means double the fun—and the indulgence. This hybrid of baked and mashed potatoes is comfort food par excellence.
