White-Cheddar Scalloped Potatoes
Credit: Chris Simpson

Whether it's mashed, roasted, or simmered in a hearty stew, the humble potato is a crowd-pleaser when you're craving something comforting. While there are plenty of dishes that call for the spud, one of our favorite ways to use this multi-purpose ingredient is in casseroles and gratins. So, if you're a potato lover like us, it's time to put these recipes on your radar. Some of the dishes featured here are beloved classics, while others offer new and unique ways to use this favorite root vegetable. When you just want something cozy for dinner, the easy, family-friendly dishes in this collection are sure to satisfy.

To start, we're highlighting one recipe that everyone should have in their arsenal: scalloped potatoes. Our cheesy, decadent White-Cheddar Scalloped Potatoes, pictured here, features thinly sliced potatoes that are simmered with milk, cream, shallots, garlic, and thyme. The mixture is spooned into a casserole dish and topped with sharp white cheddar cheese. It takes just 30 minutes to prepare and requires only seven ingredients, and  it's absolutely delicious—what's not to love?

If you're already familiar with the classics and you came here looking for something fresh, keep reading—this collection has it all. Want to incorporate a more vegetables into your comforting casserole? From asparagus in the spring to evergreen leeks, we have recipes that put a bounty of produce to use. Or perhaps you want to combine the savory with the sweet, we don't shy away from mixing our potatoes. A couple of the casseroles in this collection combine potatoes with their sweet alternative.

Whether you're in need of a side dish for your holiday spread or looking for a casual supper option, the delicious potato recipes featured here fit the bill. So, what are you waiting for? Let's get cooking.

This fondue-inspired dish starts with mashed potatoes enriched with butter, sour cream, cream cheese, and raclette, which is one of the richest, creamiest cheeses. The real highlight of this casserole, however, is the garnish of sage-and-garlic roasted crispy potato skins.

Looking for something to make for dinner tonight? We think it should be this hearty casserole. It combines the flavors of stew into a baked dish by using a mixture of sautéed onions, ground beef, mushrooms, a bag of frozen mixed vegetables, and cheese. Potatoes are used for the topping; they're shredded and sprinkled before the dish is broiled until the potatoes are golden brown and crunchy.

Salty prosciutto adds a burst of savory flavor to this incredible potato gratin, as do two cheeses: goat and Pecorino Romano. The real star, however, is the asparagus that's layered on top. The dish is baked until the cheese is bubbling, and the bread crumb garnish turns golden brown.

If you like your potatoes crispy, you'll love this savory skillet cake. Thinly sliced potatoes are shingled on the bottom of a skillet and cooked rice studded with cherries is nestled neatly on top. When the dish is done baking, the cake is flipped to serve so the golden-brown potatoes are on the top.
