Yellow Potato recipes

The gold standard of mashed potatoes — Yukon Gold and similar yellow-fleshed varieties have a naturally buttery, creamy flesh that puts regular mash to shame. Their lower starch content means they stay silky without turning gluey. Roasted garlic takes them from great to unforgettable.

Boiled yellow potatoes smashed flat and roasted until the edges are golden and lacey, drizzled with a vibrant herb oil the moment they come out of the oven. This is the potato dish that converts people who claim not to love potatoes. Crisp on the edges, fluffy inside, impossibly good.

A thick, golden Spanish egg and potato omelette that's equally at home as tapas, a picnic centerpiece, or a lazy weekend brunch. Yellow potatoes' waxy flesh holds its structure perfectly through the slow olive oil cook, resulting in tender slices that bind into a cohesive, satisfying cake.

Thinly sliced yellow potatoes layered with sweet leeks and bathed in a rich cream and Gruyère sauce, baked until golden and bubbling. Yellow potatoes are ideal for gratin — they hold their shape through slow baking while absorbing the cream beautifully. An elegant, decadent side dish.
