Skillet Hash Browns
Easy
Recipes
Here's a skillet hash browns recipe that justifies the existence of that food processor grating disk (you didn't throw it out, we hope). If you don't have one, a box grater will do.
Root Vegetable Gratin
Recipes
The key to gratins is having all the ingredients—whether they’re basic potatoes or the mixed root vegetables below—sliced the same thickness so they cook at the same rate. Make friends with a mandoline: It quickly yields precise, even slices.
Pumpkin Gruyère Gratin with Thyme
Recipes
Any kind of firm, sweet pumpkin or squash can be used for this recipe. If you want a shortcut, you can buy pre-cubed butternut squash. Just make sure the surface of the squash looks fresh and moist.
Sour Cream and Onion Hasselback Potatoes
Recipes
Generous swooshes of homemade onion dip provide a soft landing for tiny, crispy Hasselback potatoes.
Leek and Mushroom Gratin
Recipes
This gratin, which is delicious with roast chicken or pork chops, employs a favorite technique: cooking vegetables covered with a round of parchment paper placed directly on them, rather than with a lid. This low-tech method allows just enough steam to escape while keeping the vegetables—leeks, in this case—perfectly moist. A bit of lemon zest helps balance the gratin's richness.
Grissini
Recipes
In Piedmont, the home of grissini, these best-of-all breadsticks are scattered on restaurant tables, unpackaged, waiting for someone to sit down and start the inevitable and irresistible munching. They’re usually quite thin, irregular in shape, and very crisp, with a faint sweetness. You can make these stirato, or straight, by following the directions here. Or make them rubata—hand-rolled and irregular—by just rolling the strips of dough after you’ve cut them to make them even thinner. Sprinkle these with toasted sesame seeds, poppy seeds, freshly grated Parmesan cheese, or sea salt before baking if you like, though it’s rarely done in their homeland.
Fast Potato Gratin
Easy
Recipes
This is a fast method for producing a delicious potato gratin. I discovered it accidentally, and it’s since become a personal favorite.
Old-Fashioned Rice pudding
Recipes
My friend Damon Fowler, chef and author, taught me the importance of using freshly grated nutmeg. The difference is remarkable, so please don’t substitute ground nutmeg from ajar. Grate the nutmeg on the fine side of your grater, being careful that you don’t include a little knuckle! Fresh nutmeg can be found right next to the ground nutmeg in your local supermarket.
Quick White Bean and Ham Gratin
Quick
Recipes
This quick cassoulet-inspired dinner uses ham and cannellini beans instead of the duck, sausage, and traditional flageolets.
Potatoes au Gratin
Recipes
Whatever you call it (au gratin potatoes, potato gratin, that cheesy potato thing), this classic dish never disappoints.

Churros with Bittersweet Chocolate Sauce
The shape of pastry tip you use for this churros recipe is very important. If the tip isn’t closed, or rounded off, the churros may break as you’re frying them (we used size 845 tips). Keep that in mind if you’re using a different size—the cook times may vary. The sugar matters, too. Conventional granulated is too fine and raw sugar is too coarse—it won't stick to the churros.
