Kimchi and Potato Hash Kimchi and Potato Hash With Eggs

Kimchi is punchy and potatoes are mellow, but together, they play off one another like the characters in an opposites-attract love story. Though universally adored for their comforting, creamy texture, potatoes often feel stodgy as the main ingredient of a meal, but pairing them with tangy, spicy kimchi lightens them up. Cut your potatoes into small cubes to ensure they don’t take too long to cook. Hash just does not feel complete without eggs, which make this a handy one-pan meal. Finishing the dish with a drizzle of mayonnaise (preferably Kewpie, but other brands are fine, too) and a sprinkle of furikake lends a playful edge, or you can make it even more fun to eat by wrapping up piles of the hash in nori, which adds a nice crunch and will remind you of a sushi roll.

Lemon Potatoes Greek Lemon Potatoes

Greek lemon potatoes. I’ve been making them every week for the past couple of months and everyone raves about them. These potato wedges have the best balance of browned, crispy edges and centers that are so creamy they basically melt in your mouth. And maybe even better than that, the flavors of lemon, garlic, oregano, and olive oil seep into the perfectly seasoned potatoes as they cook.

Roasted Carrots Roasted Carrots

This dish is inspired by a roasted carrot antipasto I recently sampled at Oliveto Cafe in Oakland, Calif. The roasted carrots were tossed with lots of parsley and thyme, and I loved the way those bitter herbs offset the sweetness of the carrots.

Scalloped Potatoes
