Baked, mashed or even fried, there's no wrong way of cooking potatoes.

Not to mention, they make great little snacks (hello, Sweet Potato Crisps) and the best work-from-lunch (Baked Potatoes, duh!).

Adding sweet potatoes to your diet is an easy healthy habit to pick up when you're trying to eat healthy—the vegetable is a total superfood, packed with vitamin C and fibre. Baking them whole in the oven is arguably the easiest way to prepare them (if you're really pressed for time, you can always microwave your sweet potato), and makes them a perfect base for all types of toppings.

Cumberland Pie

Cumberland pie uses chunks of beef rather than mince, and rather than mashed potato, you should traditionally use slices of potatoes, cooked and cut into rounds and laid across the top. And of course, the best part of this pie is the layer of cheese and breadcrumbs sprinkled on top to make it crispy and crunchy.

French Fries

Insanely Easy Potato Recipes That Are Beyond Delicious (And Addictive) (39)

I never make French fries at home. Mostly because deep-frying anything is always messy, annoying, and time-consuming. (Anyone else hate cooking in batches?!) They also never turn out quite as crispy or good as McDonald's. But I recently discovered a genius hack that changes EVERYTHING. It yields astonishingly crispy on the outside, creamy on the inside frites.
