Sunday Supper: Liver with Onions, Bacon and Potatoes
Liver is polarizing; there aren't many people who kind-of like liver. You're either a lover or a hater, and if you're a lover there's no doubt you've had versions of this dish many times before. And if you're a hater, well, you're missing out. Liver and onions is a dish you can still find on many diner menus; the sweetness of the onions and the meatiness of the liver are a perfect combination. And adding some crisp fried potatoes and lovely thick cut bacon turn a humble lunch into a substantial supper.The Complete, No-Nonsense, Slightly Neurotic Guide to Making Great Latkes
Amidst the nudging, nagging, and nebbishing of the Chanukah season lies something that mends all wounds and brings us all together. I'm talking about latkes, the perfect party food. And when you get the hang of them, they're a cinch to make. That said, there's a lot of ways latkes can go wrong. If you're looking to step up your latke game, this guide has everything you need to know, from ingredients to equipment to technique.Taste Test: Instant Mashed Potatoes
What exactly are instant mashed potatoes? For starters, they are made from real potatoes (not Cream of Wheat, Play-Doh, or any other such non-potato substance). But they are potatoes that have been cooked, mashed, and dehydrated to produce a potato-in-a-box product. Now, the second question. Should you eat them? We tried nine different brands to find out.The Food Lab Thanksgiving Special: Ultra-Crispy Roast Potatoes
How often do you get roasted potatoes that look like they're going to be awesomely crisp only to find that rather than crispness, all you've got is a papery (or worse, leathery) skin on the exterior? Getting truly crisp potatoes is harder than it seems. Simply tossing them in a bit of oil and roasting them just doesn't work. Here's a method that does.Weekend Cook and Tell Round Up: You Say Potato
Last week on the Weekend Cook and Tell we asked all of you to think outside of the potato sack for a challenge we dubbed You Say Potato. We wanted to see what kind of creative recipes you could come up with to bring the humble spud out of the sidelines and into the spotlight. Here's a peek at some of your tastiest tuber recipes.How to Make Potato Gnocchi
Though the whole process of making potato gnocchi from scratch may sound a little daunting, once you get rolling, it's really not hard and is actually kind of fun. Check out the slideshow tutorial to see how easy it is to make light, tender, and delicious homemade gnocchi. And then take a look at a few suggestions for simple sauces to go with them.In Season: Potatoes
When I was a kid, I used to poke a potato several times with a chopstick, wrap it in a paper towel and cook it in the microwave. After a few minutes, I'd turn the potato over to cook the other side. When the potato was steaming hot, I'd break it open with a spoon, slather butter all over it and eat it. There are a million other ways to cook potatoes—and there are many, many types of potatoes to choose from.Gadgets: The Smood (Potato Masher)
Mashed potatoes are one of those side dishes that we eat—and crave—year round, but demand perfection from on Thanksgiving. So what makes the perfect mashed potatoes? That depends on who you ask. And what makes the perfect potato masher is clearly dependent upon that answer.The Food Lab Thanksgiving Special: Ultra-fluffy or Rich and Creamy Mashed Potatoes
During Thanksgiving, that most divisive of holidays, mashed potatoes are perhaps the most divisive side dish of the lot. I like mine to be rich, perfectly smooth, and creamy with plenty of butter and heavy cream, loaded with black pepper, maybe some chives if I want to feel extra fancy. Somewhere between a dish on its own and a sauce, it should have the consistency of a pudding, slowly working it's way across a tilted plate. I like to pick up a piece of turkey and swirl it in my gravy-covered potatoes so that they coat it, their buttery richness working into the cracks in the meat. Sounds good, right? Who could possibly want it any other way? My sister. That's who.Hot Topics: Technique of the Week | The Food Lab
