Types of potato side dishes

In addition to these suggestions, here are other examples of potato side dishes:

• • Hasselback potatoes
  • Fondant potatoes
  • Mashed potato

• Hash browns
• French fries
• Funeral potatoes
• Duchess potatoes
• Baked potato
• Potato cakes

In general, try not to pair potatoes with another starchy side such as rice or pasta. However, grilled vegetables make an excellent complement to mashed potatoes or a funeral potatoes casserole; think grilled asparagus, roasted carrots etc… They will add some crunch and contrast to your potato side.
