Crispy roasted potatoes
Chicken Marsala is a simple, Italian-American dish of seared chicken cutlets covered in a creamy sauce of marsala wine and heavy cream. It goes well with a variety of potato dishes, including roasted potatoes.
Ingredients:
- Potatoes (russet, Yukon Gold, or red)
- Olive oil
- Salt
- Pepper
- Fresh rosemary (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Adjust the rack to the middle position.
- Cut the potatoes into large chunks. For even cooking, try to make the chunks a similar size.
- Parboil the potatoes in salted water. This will help to break down their surfaces and create a starchy slurry for added surface area and crunch.
- Drain the potatoes and let them dry. You can rough up the surfaces further by shaking them in a colander or tossing them gently.
- Drizzle the potatoes with olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper. If using rosemary, add it now (see below).
- Place the potatoes on a large baking sheet, ensuring they are not crowded.
- Roast the potatoes for 20-30 minutes, turning once, until golden brown and crispy.
- If using rosemary: Finely chop the rosemary and mix with a small amount of olive oil to make a paste. After 40 minutes, flip the potatoes and spoon the rosemary paste on top. Spread it out with a spatula or spoon.
- Roast for another 7 minutes, or until the potatoes are deeply golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
These crispy roasted potatoes have a thick, crunchy coating and a creamy, buttery interior. The addition of rosemary is optional but adds a nice flavour to the dish.

Mashed potatoes
Ingredients
- Potatoes
- Butter
- Milk or heavy whipping cream
- Sea salt
Instructions
Start by washing and cutting the potatoes into 3/4" x 3/4" cubes. You can peel the potatoes if you don't like the skins, but it is not necessary. Place the potatoes in a large pot or pan and cover them with water by 1-2 inches. Add 1 teaspoon of sea salt for every 3 cups of water added. Heat the water and potatoes over high heat until the water is boiling. Boil the potatoes until they are tender.
Once the potatoes are boiled, strain them and return them to the pot. Add butter, milk or heavy whipping cream, and sea salt to taste. Use a large fork or potato masher to mash the potatoes until they reach your desired consistency.
To serve, spoon 1 - 1 1/2 cups of mashed potatoes onto a plate. Top with chicken marsala and enjoy!
There are also other potato dishes that can be served with chicken marsala, such as Parmesan smashed potatoes, French Onion Potatoes, and Honey Mustard Potatoes.

Cheesy scalloped potatoes
Ingredients
For this recipe, you will need the following ingredients:
- Potatoes (Russet or Yukon Gold)
- Butter
- Garlic
- Heavy cream
- Salt
- Pepper
- Garlic powder
- Cheese (Cheddar and Parmesan)
- Parsley (optional)
Instructions
First, preheat your oven to 350°F and move the rack to the middle position. Peel the potatoes and use a mandoline slicer or a mandolin to cut them into thin slices, about 1/8" thick. The thinner the slices, the better, but a knife will also work.
Next, melt the butter in a medium-sized saucepan over medium-high heat. Once melted, add the chopped garlic and stir until fragrant, which should take about a minute. Then, add the heavy cream, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Stir everything together over medium-low heat until well combined.
Now, it's time to assemble the dish. Grease a 9x13 baking dish and layer the bottom with half of the potato slices. It's okay if they overlap. Sprinkle the potatoes with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Pour half of the cream mixture over the potatoes. Sprinkle with half of the shredded cheddar and Parmesan cheese.
Add the remaining potato slices on top and pour the rest of the cream mixture over them. Top with the remaining cheese. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 85-90 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
Finally, let the potatoes cool for about 10 minutes. For a crisp topping, change the oven setting to broil after baking and broil until golden brown. Sprinkle with parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
Tips and Variations
You can make this dish ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator until you're ready to bake it. Simply assemble the dish, cover it tightly, and refrigerate. You can also add other ingredients, such as ham, to make it a heartier main course. Additionally, feel free to experiment with different types of cheese and seasonings to suit your taste preferences.

Honey mustard potatoes
Chicken Marsala is a classic Italian-American dish of golden pan-fried chicken cutlets and mushrooms in a rich Marsala wine sauce. It is often served with roasted potatoes.
To make honey mustard potatoes, first parboil the potatoes until just tender. You can use baby potatoes or peeled and diced potatoes. Then, fry them in a pan until golden brown.

If you prefer to bake your potatoes, you can also make a baked version of honey mustard potatoes. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a baking sheet. Dice your potatoes and place them in a large bowl. Make the honey mustard sauce by whisking together mustard, honey, olive oil, onion powder, garlic, salt, and pepper. Pour the sauce over the potatoes and toss until each piece is well coated. Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet and season with salt and pepper. Bake for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden brown. Sprinkle with fresh thyme before serving.
