Why choose between fried and mashed potatoes when you don't have to pick just one? This fan-favorite roasted red potato recipe allows you to enjoy the best of both worlds in each crispy-edged bite. Give this a go instead of fries with burgers or chicken tenders for a fast food-inspired feast.

Mini Meat Loaves with Brussels Sprouts and Potatoes

Even the pickiest eaters will run to the table when you showcase Brussels sprouts like this. Partnering with a sweet-and-savory meatloaf entrée and roasted sheet pan spuds, kids (and kids at heart) will ask for this meal again and again. Of course, we're always happy when they do; the entire mini meatloaf and baby red potato main dish recipe cooks on the same pan after just 15 minutes of prep time, so assembly and clean-up are a breeze.

Roasted Bean and Potato Salad

This roasted red potatoes recipe is remarkably versatile. Roast the potatoes, green beans, and onions on a sheet pan, pile over greens, then drizzle with horseradish dressing (or any store-bought dressing you desire).

Or, for a hearty yet healthy breakfast salad, add some jammy or fried eggs on top; you can't go wrong in any or all of the ways.

One BH&G home cook says it's the epitome of "summer comfort food. Delish!"

Sunday Brisket and Potatoes

One recipe with red potatoes is good. But two is always better if you ask us. Start by slow-cooking a foil pack of potatoes over succulent beef brisket. Enjoy those as-is for Sunday dinner. Then later in the week, refresh the leftovers into Brisket sandwiches with potato salad. We'll walk you through each step of the way.

Cheesy Mashed Potato Pots

Garlic-Herb Smashed New Potatoes

Equal parts lusciously silky—hat tip to sour cream and cream cheese—and vibrantly springy—due to fresh rosemary, dill, and basil—we mash up this baby red potato recipe at least once each week. It's stellar with grilled steak, salmon, or almost any protein. Share it with the crisp bacon crumbles, more fresh herbs, and spring onions on the side so everyone can top as desired.

(We're on a crispy bacon, fresh dill, and buttery avocado kick lately.)

Thyme Potatoes Au Gratin

BHG reader Cindy raves, "I'd give this 10 stars if I could! A new favorite potato recipe." Shingle thinly-sliced red potatoes, layer on the cheesy cream sauce, and bake until golden brown and bubbly.
