Curry-Rubbed Sweet-Potato Planks

One-Pan Tuna-White Bean Casserole
This is not the classic, cream-of-something soup tuna casserole you may be familiar with. It’s based on a recipe for a Breton tuna and white bean gratin from the food writer Diana Henry’s cookbook, “Simple” (Mitchell Beazley, 2016). Several steps were eliminated, and an essential potato chip topping was added, which may put it squarely into tuna casserole territory. But you can call it whatever you like. (This recipe is part of the From the Pantry series, started in the days after the coronavirus lockdown.)

Seared Sea Scallops With Ginger-Lime Butter
Day-boat scallops, the kind that are dry-packed (never frozen or dosed with preservatives), are what you want for this decadent but very simple dish. The scallops are seared on cast iron, but gradually, for a crisp, well-browned surface that intensifies their natural sweetness. Ginger, lime and hot pepper enhance the rich meatiness of all fresh seafood, and here especially so. A roasted sweet potato and a pile of blanched bok choy complete this quintessentially elegant, fast-food meal.

Mung Beans and Rice (Mashkitchiri)

Curried Shepherd’s Pie
This spiced version of the traditional English dish was developed in 1984 by Pierre Franey and Craig Claiborne for an article about budget-friendly meals. Here, the ground beef base is laced with curry powder, cumin and coriander then topped with a pile of fluffy, mashed potatoes dotted with green peas.

Beef Empanadas
Filipinos take snacking seriously, so much so that we devote an entire meal to it: merienda, which may take place midmorning or midafternoon, if not both. Empanadas are a great treat for this in-between time, but also keep well at room temperature — the grace of food built for a warm climate — so you can graze all day. (My family used to buy these by the tray for parties, but it’s nice to make your own and store them in the freezer for later.) In these, a ground-beef filling is tucked inside sturdy but flaky dough, with raisins added early in the cooking to plump with the beef juices. There are variations on empanadas all over Latin America; ours rely on the potency of onion and garlic, and exploit it to the hilt.

Bibimbap With Tuna, Sweet Potato, Broccoli Rabe or Kale, and Lettuce
I keep the tuna in one piece when I marinate it and cook it, then slice it after it’s seared so it won’t be overcooked. If you want to reduce the calories and carbs here, substitute winter squash or another vegetable of your choice for the sweet potatoes.

Mashed Celery Root And Potatoes

Swiss Rosti With Smoked Salmon and Poached Egg
In Switzerland, rosti (pronounced roosh-ti) is considered a national dish, though it is most popular in the German-speaking regions of the country. Made from grated potatoes, it resembles American hash browns, fried in a skillet like a thick potato pancake and cut into wedges. Rosti is often enhanced with ham, bacon or cheese or served with sausages. This posh version is garnished with smoked salmon, sour cream and a poached egg, perfect for a weekend breakfast. For best results, boil the potatoes one day (or at least several hours) in advance and chill. Cook them until just done and still firm — check with a skewer or paring knife — or they will be impossible to grate.

Alice Rose George's Potato-Watercress Salad

Chez Louis Potato Pie

Southwestern Potato and Celery Omelet
This spicy omelet is much lighter than traditional cheese-packed Southwestern omelets. You don’t need much oil to pan-fry this small amount of finely diced potato, and a little cheese goes a long way.

Southwest Potatoes
Here is a substantial breakfast inspired by (though far better than) airplane food that can be served on its own or alongside eggs. With all the classic flavors of a burrito — black beans, jalapeños, corn, cheese and cilantro — it would also make great filling for a corn or flour tortilla, with potatoes added in place of rice. Exercise patience when you cook the potatoes. The key to this recipe is leaving them alone once you’ve put them in the pan, neither stirring nor shaking, for at least 10 minutes, so they develop a nice crust.

Corn and Green Chile Soup

Red-Eye Hash

The Best Clam Chowder
This is a basic New England clam chowder, though with leeks used in place of the traditional onions, and a splash of wine to add a floral note. Also: thyme. Very continental! It is shockingly delicious and deserves its title as best. Bacon will add a smoky note to the stew. If you use it, it may be worth it to go the whole distance and get expensive double-smoked bacon instead of the standard supermarket fare. The salt pork, which is not smoked, will take the meal in the opposite direction, emphasizing the pure flavor of the clams.

Potato Salad With Yogurt-and-Mint Dressing

Vichyssoise
This is a simple take on a classic cold soup that is as delicious to eat as it is to say: Vishi-swazz! It is dead easy to make as well. Just sauté potatoes with some chopped leeks, then simmer them all with stock until tender. Send the mixture through a food processor or blender, let cool, then chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Garnish with chopped chives.

Blackfish With Potatoes And Onions

Pureed Red Pepper and Potato Soup
This is a beautiful soup with a deep, rich flavor to match the color. Make sure to strain it after you puree it, a quick step that absolves you of the longer step of peeling the peppers.
