Overstuffed Twice-Baked PotatoesMaxwell Cozzi
These twice-baked potatoes are so large and filling that some of Emeril Lagasse's customers order them as an entree. Lagasse calls them overstuffed because he adds an extra baked potato to the stuffing mixture, but if these seem too large for you, then bake and mash only four (instead of the five used here), or use smaller potatoes.

A showstopper, these crisp, smoky potatoes are actually super easy to make. Hasselback simply means the potatoes are sliced to resemble an accordion. The result is a potato with more surface area, which means it cooks faster and emerges from the oven with thin, crispy layers.

Crock-Pot Baked Potatoes © Abby HockingThere are many ways to bake a potato: in the oven, in a microwave, in a toaster oven, or even buried in the embers of a fire. You can bake potatoes in your Crock-Pot, too. Using a slow cooker allows you to bake six to eight potatoes at once, leaving your oven or microwave free for other tasks.

Grill-Baked Potatoes with Chive Butter © Marcus NilssonThese super-easy, indulgent potatoes are based on a recipe Brooklyn butcher Tom Mylan found in a South Dakota centennial cookbook.

Baked Potatoes with Wild Mushroom Ragù © John KernickWe like a mix of shiitake, oyster, chanterelle, and button mushrooms for this succulent ragù to top baked potatoes, but any combination will work.

Lemony Salt-Roasted Fingerling Potatoes © John KernickThis lemon-scented herb salt makes a great seasoning for everything from roasted white fish to grilled chicken and pork to steamed vegetables — and of course, any kind of potato. Grinding the sage, rosemary, and thyme into the salt, rather than just stirring it in, helps intensify and meld the flavors.

Poutine-Style Twice-Baked Potatoes © Con PoulosThese just might be the world's best and most indulgent baked potatoes. First they're stuffed with sour cream and Parmigiano-Reggiano, then they're topped with tangy gravy, melted mozzarella, bits of crisp bacon, and finally, fried potato skins.

Psites Patates (Lemony Roasted Potatoes with Oregano) © Guy AmbrosinoIt's hard to resist that Greek specialty of potatoes bathed in a lemony oil. In this version, slices of lemon are roasted along with the potatoes, gently perfuming the dish to make it fresher and very satisfying.

Potato & Leek GratinView Recipe
A mandoline will slice the potatoes quickly and to the exact same thickness, though a sharp knife will also work. Instead of burying the potatoes and leeks in cream, a drizzle of milk is added to every layer of the gratin; the potatoes get wonderfully crisp and tender, and the cheeses form a melty, golden crust. The result is a rich, rustic potato side with contrasting flavors and textures—a bit of crunch to round out the stuffing, sauces, and mashes on the plate. Reheat leftovers in the oven until crisped and warmed through, and then serve with eggs and a side of fruit for breakfast.
