Potato

Potatoes come in all different shapes, sizes, and colors, and their neutral flavor allows them to take on countless seasonings. Here you will find all of my potato recipes, including these favorite fingerling potatoes, these oven-baked French fries, and this Thanksgiving staple: au gratin potatoes recipe.

Alice Waters’s Potato Gratin

Recently, I've been living on this recipe for Fisher's creamy potato soup. Simple and delicious, the ingredients come together quickly: sauté two onions, add four peeled potatoes and water, simmer till tender, add milk (thickened with a roux), and purée. A deeply satisfying soup perfect for the colder months of the year! // alexandracooks.com

In the past six years, subscriptions to CSAs in eastern Pennsylvania, southern California and northern Virginia have forever transformed how I eat and cook. I have learned to plan meals based on the vegetables I have at hand not the protein. I have learned to appreciate vegetables in their freshest state seasoned with little more than olive oil, salt and pepper. I have eaten more dark leafy greens than I ever imagined. // alexandracooks.com

Loaded with vegetables — carrots, potatoes, onions and cabbage — a little bacon and a touch of cream, this cabbage soup is definitely hearty, best served on a cold winter day with crusty bread and nothing more. For me, it's the dill and caraway seeds that make it unlike any other I have tasted, the caraway seeds in particular imparting a lovely yet subtle flavor. // alexandracooks.com
