Thanksgiving Sides: Mashed Potatoes
Creamy, rich mashed potatoes are a Thanksgiving essential. Some folks lard them up with sour cream or half-and-half, others toss in cheese, herbs, roasted garlic, or even wasabi. Here are a few recipes for Thanksgiving inspiration, but tell us: do you have a favorite mashed potato trick?Meet & Eat: Rahm Fama of Food Network's New 'Meat and Potatoes' Show
Host Rahm Fama, a rancher and meat enthusiast in the new Food Network series airing tonight, Meat & Potatoes, will take us around the country to find the best, heartiest, and meatiest dishes. I checked in with him about his roots in New Mexico, his favorite dishes from the road, and how to pick a great cut of beef.Have You Heard of JoJos?
Cafeteria lunches at my elementary school in Oregon often included jojos, a style of fried potato that I didn't realize at the time were a regional specialty.Video: The Potato Song
It's September! And you know what that means: It's time to celebrate National Potato Month! Because potatoes are awesome. Singer-songwriter Cheryl Wheeler knows what I'm talking about; she wrote a song about potatoes. It goes a little something like this.Market Scene: Ferry Plaza Farmers' Market, San Francisco
It's a bit of a surreal experience to be a regular market shopper at the Ferry Plaza Farmers' Market in San Francisco. The market is a tourist and foodie destination in addition to a weekly routine for many San Francisco shoppers. Saturday, when I was trying to shop for my weekly haul, Food Network personality Aida Mollenkamp was walking through the market with a camera crew, tourists were snapping photos, and celebrity chefs shopped right next to me. I imagine it's something like going to church regularly at the Vatican, among all the sightseers. This time of year, I have to be careful to not overbuy at the market. There are so many wonderful things in season.Taste Test: Kettle-Cooked Potato Chips
Even at their worst, kettle chips are a near-perfect snack. It's hard to go wrong with thin slices of potato fried to a crisp and doused in salt, and kettle chips, which are fried in small batches to facilitate greater control of oil temperature to optimize texture and flavor. The kettle cooking approach takes these perfect guilty treats to a new level of, um, perfection and guilt. Perhaps because there's so much to like about potato chips in general, it was difficult to pick a favorite variety out of 17 brands, a task made harder by the wide variety of salt, texture, and flavor preferences among tasters. Find out which brands won for most classic, most crunchy, most lard-filled, and more.Poll: Hash Browns or Home Fries?
Ah, the eternal breakfast potato choice. One that's been on my mind since yesterday morning, when I had to make it at my local diner. Hash browns or home fries? (And why are they called "home fries," anyway?)The Food Lab: Potato Salad Done Right
A really well-constructed potato salad can be as interesting as the burger it precedes (and believe me: I love burgers). Tangy, salty, and sweet with a texture that's simultaneously creamy, crunchy, and fluffy in each bite, a perfect potato salad should taste feather-light, despite being made with potato and mayo, two of the heaviest ingredients around. How to make that perfect potato salad? Find out in this week's Food Lab.Quiz: How Much Do You Know About French Fries?
French fries. They're addictive—especially when salty, crisp, light, and not too greasy. Who's ever managed to eat only one French fry. Or just two? Or even three? If you answered yes, you're lying (right?). Whether you prefer them curly or straight, topped with cheese or chili, French fries haven't stopped luring people in. But how much do you really know about French fries? Take the quiz! »Hot Topics: Technique of the Week | The Food Lab
