This Is What Potato Heaven Looks Like

Welcome to tater heaven.
By 

Taste Senior Editor, HuffPost

Without question, the potato wins the prize for being the most versatile vegetable. Not only does it have an impressive arsenal of recipes hidden beneath its dirty exterior -- mashed potatoes, French fries, baked potatoes -- but every dish is one that people actually want to eat. Because while you could probably cook broccoli a number of ways, fried florets will never compete with tater tots. Ever.

The potato is the embodiment of comfort food, which is just on more reason to honor this humble spud. We've put together a collection of recipes to help you do just that in 35 different (and delicious) ways. From hasselbacks to gratins to salads to latkes, welcome to potato heaven.
