    There's a potato for every occasion. Breakfast? Hash browns. Lunch? Fries. Dinner? Baked potato. Having a party? Potato chips. Wife divorced you and took the kids? Vodka.

    Truly the most versatile tuber.

      Breakfast: home fries

      Lunch: latka, potato soup, chips

      Dinner: mashed potatoes, scalloped potatoes, salt potatoes

      Divoreced: even more vodka

      Truly the utilitarian spud

          I wish I could figure out how to make it savory enough, bad scalloped potatoes are undercooked, watery, and flavorless, and I desire to avoid this

            How are you doing them? I can try and help figure it out.

              I haven’t done enough for a recipe, but so far, slicing potato thinly and layering with milk cheese and seasoning hasn’t produced the exact result as restaurants, for example

                So without knowing more I could only give general advice, but the serious eats article has a lot of useful stuff that might help you narrow it down.

                My version uses nutritional yeast and cashews for the sauce, but a small bit of cinnamon with the paprika really helps.

                this is a pretty good start, but add in shredded cheddar and finely chopped broccoli. works with russet or yukon potatoes
