Potatoes are easily the most popular vegetables in the world. Cheap, easy to cook and endlessly adaptable to a wide variety of recipes and cooking styles – it’s little wonder why they are such a universally adored staple. But Mashed Potato and French Fries can get boring very quickly when you have them all the time. So here is a little collection of my favourite potato side dishes that are not only delicious, but super easy to make!

Microwave Baked Potatoes

Did you know you can make baked potatoes in a fraction of the time using your microwave? Simply prick the potatoes all over with a fork, then put them in the microwave – it’s as simple as that! You’ll have hot jacket potatoes ready to eat in around ten minutes. Serve by themselves or with your favourite toppings. I love a little garlic butter on mine!

Fully Loaded Potato Casserole

The classic Loaded Baked Potato gets a serious upgrade with this amazing casserole side dish! Baked potatoes are combined with sour cream, cheese and bacon to create a rich, chunky shareable dish that goes great with steak, schnitzels, roast chicken and more! Add your favourite herbs and spices to change up the flavours. You could also add a few extra vegetables to the mix if you want to boost your veggie intake.

Easy Roast Potatoes

Roast Potatoes are a delicious side dish that is the perfect accompaniment to any main meal. The potatoes are lovingly prepared, coated in olive oil and lightly seasoned to ensure a golden, crispy outside and a fluffy middle. Jazz it up with a little garlic, rosemary or oregano if you like. Replace the olive oil with duck fat for extra crispy potatoes.
