8 potato recipes for the cold months
One pan steak and potatoes

1. One pan steak and potatoes

If you're a steak and potatoes household, this one is going to be your new favorite. It has everything you love about that classic plate, the seared steak bites, the potatoes, the seasoning, except it all happens in one pan and the sauce is creamy. The beef broth and heavy cream build a sauce right in the pan. Every potato is coated and every piece of steak has something to sit in!

Smothered Chicken with Mashed Potatoes

2. Smothered Chicken with Mashed Potatoes

This is an incredibly easy, flavorful, comforting chicken dish, made with just a handful of ingredients you probably already have on hand. It makes a generous batch, so expect leftovers, and it is one of my new favorite options when I am feeding a crowd. Shredded chicken can go a lot of different directions, but this caramelized onion version is a sure successful way of making it.

Taco Potato Skillet

3. Taco Potato Skillet

I know this sounds like a weird combination. It's basically scalloped potatoes meets tacos. But it really works and it is so comforting. You get veggies, carbs and protein all in one skillet, which is pretty much my whole checklist for a weeknight dinner. And it's so easy. Brown the beef, dump everything in, let the potatoes soften on the stove, cheese on top, into the oven.

One Pan Comfort Chicken

4. One Pan Comfort Chicken

This creamy comfort chicken is so so incredibly easy to make, very wholesome and comforting. I love that it all comes together in one pan, with potatoes and green beans cooked right in, so the chicken and veggies soak up all that creamy sauce. Definitely one of those meals I love to have up my sleeve when I want something flavorful and easy!

Sheet Pan Gnocchi and Italian Sausage

6. Sheet Pan Gnocchi and Italian Sausage

I love a sheet pan dinner in the fall. There is something about piling a bunch of really good ingredients onto one pan and letting the oven do the browning for you. Everything comes out of there deep and savory and so much more flavorful than the amount of effort would suggest. I spooned Green goddess dressing over the hot pan at the end, and between that and the salty feta crumbles it turns a simple tray of sausage and gnocchi into a delicious dinner.

Chicken Pot Pie Soup

7. Chicken Pot Pie Soup

Chicken pot pie is one of my absolute favorite comforting foods. I actually didn’t have it until a couple of years ago, because it’s not something I grew up with, but I instantly fell in love. Something about the mix of chicken, vegetables, potatoes, and those biscuits on top just is comfort to me. I loved this soup version so much that it might be the way I make it going forward, because comforting meals equal soup in my brain. You can make it thinner by adding more broth if you like, and I’d recommend keeping some on hand for reheating, since it thickens up quite a bit as it sits.
