Shredding and squeezing out potatoes, just like when making latkes, helps create a supremely crisp rosti that serves as a base for eggs and dressed greens. An oven finish means there’s no flipping required, keeping this dish nice and simple.

Recipe notes

Sheet-Pan Pierogies and Beets

A flavorful one-pan meal featuring baked pierogies, roasted beets, and a poppy seed dressing. Frozen pierogies and pre-cooked beets make this extra easy.

Camélia’s Sweet Potato Gratin

With salty-sweet miso butter, chives, and savory flakes of nori, this cheesy sweet potato gratin recipe bears little resemblance to traditional versions.

Steak Salad With Feta Dressing

Juicy steak, crisp lettuce, and a blender dressing come together for a breezy summer dinner.

Green Pasta e Fagioli

This riff on the Italian classic comfort food gets its verdant color from kale two ways: blended into the base, and wilted among the pasts and white beans.

Vegetarian Italian Wedding Soup

A bowl of comfort with ricotta “meatballs,” tiny pasta, and lots of greens.

Winter Greens With Anchovy Breadcrumbs

A mix of leafy greens turns extremely tender with the simplest treatment. Topped with crispy breadcrumbs, this is proof that boiled vegetables aren’t boring.

Scallops With Creamy Spinach Sauce

Buttery scallops pair with a verdant spinach purée for a restaurant-worthy dish.

Chickpeas With 40 Garlic Cloves

Braising canned chickpeas in chicken stock and olive oil makes them unbelievably tender and buttery. This is worth the effort of peeling 40 cloves of garlic.
