There is no gochujang or soy sauce here, only salt and pepper, so what you taste is plain potato and sweet shrimp.
A white, milk-based chowder with small cubes of potato and pieces of clam in every spoonful. Celery, softened with the onion, adds a faint bitterness that keeps the milk from being the only thing you taste.
Shredded potato and kimchi are pressed into a pan or cup-shaped mold to form a thick base and rim, and the hollow in the middle is filled with mozzarella and green onion and covered until the cheese melts. The potato is rinsed only once in cold water to keep its starch, which is what holds the cup shape. Being bite-sized, they also work as party finger food.
Tang usually signals soup, but there is little broth here: it cooks down until the red sauce clings, glossy, to the chicken and potatoes. The big potato chunks, still holding their shape, get spooned onto rice along with the sauce.
Braised a long time with bone-in chicken, the radish turns brown from all the chicken stock and chili sauce it takes in. The potatoes crumble at the edges and thicken the sauce.
Squid and shrimp take the place of pork, so the familiar black bean sauce picks up a briny note as the seafood releases its juices into it. Potato, onion and zucchini soften into the sauce for sweetness and body, and a little starch slurry gives it the glossy, clinging texture that coats the noodles.
Thin pan-crisped potato, salty pollock-roe dressing, and the sea flavor of crumbled laver all land on one plate. Myeongran, salted pollock roe, is scraped from its membrane and loosened with Greek yogurt and mayonnaise, which tame its saltiness into a creamy dressing.
Chicken and potatoes share one skillet in this Chicago Italian-American dish, braised with garlic, oregano, and dry white wine. As the wine and stock reduce, the potatoes soak up the sauce and turn fluffy. The skin needs at least 5 minutes undisturbed to brown deeply; that browned layer in the pan is what gives the sauce its depth. Peas and lemon juice go in at the very end to add color and freshness to an otherwise heavy sauce.
Two separate doughs, a water dough wrapped around a margarine-and-flour dough, are rolled and wound twice so that each cut face shows a tight spiral. The filling for this Malaysian curry puff is a dry curry of chicken, sweet potato, and potato with a piece of hard-boiled egg. Deep-fried, the layers open and flake, and the spiral shows only when that cut face is kept on the outside.
Whole hulled barley keeps a gentle pop inside a thick pot of softened rice, kidney beans, and three kinds of potato. In Yamanashi mountain villages where paddy rice was hard to grow, rice was saved for celebrations and barley carried everyday meals. Nothing is seasoned in the pot; each diner stirs in negi miso, a mix of scallion, miso, bonito flakes, and a little sugar.
The soy-based sauce takes a tablespoon of ketchup. Half-moons of potato go in first, and once their edges turn translucent the sausage follows, letting its fat soak into the potato. From cutting board to plate it takes around ten minutes, which keeps it manageable on a weekday morning.
Half the soup is blended and stirred back in, so the broth thickens while whole corn kernels and pieces of potato stay intact. The onion and garlic cook in the fat left from crisping the bacon, and the bacon itself returns at the end, scattered over each bowl with parsley.
Chopped napa kimchi and grated potato share one batter, yet the kimchi's sour, fermented tang and the potato's mild sweetness stay distinct within the same pancake. Where kimchi juice meets the pan over medium-high heat, the edges darken into a toasty crust.
It also goes by dak bokkeumtang, and although the name ends in tang, meaning soup, it is reduced for about 25 minutes until the sauce clings to the chicken. The chicken pieces are blanched for three minutes and rinsed of bone fragments before they go into the pot. Sugar in the sauce makes the sweetness as clear as the heat.
Drumettes, potato and onion all go into the pot raw with the gochujang sauce and braise under a lid, with no searing or frying beforehand. As they cook, the meat around the bone turns firm and chewy and holds on to the thickening sauce. With a little extra time, browning the drumettes in a pan first deepens the color and flavor.
Wide flour noodles from Yamanashi simmer straight in miso broth with kabocha, potato, daikon, and napa cabbage, leaving the soup thick and slow to cool. In mountain areas poorly suited to rice, houtou long served as a staple, and its lasting warmth means it is eaten most often in winter. Unlike udon, the dough has no salt and the floured strips are never boiled on their own, which leaves their starch to thicken the pot.
Perilla seed powder and Greek yogurt bind this potato salad instead of mayonnaise, giving it a nutty taste and a light finish. King oyster mushrooms torn into thick strips keep their chew after roasting, a good foil to the fluffy, roughly mashed potato.
Soft mashed potato gets flecks of cabbage, blanched for just 3 minutes so it keeps a little crunch, and the mild bite of scallion. In Ireland it was traditionally eaten at Halloween, sometimes with a coin hidden inside for luck.
Mashed potato mixed with sauteed ground beef and onion gets shaped into ovals, coated in panko, and fried until golden. The crust shatters while the inside stays fluffy and potato-forward, plainer and heartier than cream-filled croquettes. Worcestershire or tonkatsu sauce goes on top, and in Japan butcher shops and delis sell them freshly fried to eat on the go. Fillings vary widely, from curry to crab cream to kabocha squash.
Potato, zucchini, carrot and shiitake are minced very fine and toasted in sesame oil with the soaked rice, then simmered in water over low heat for 30 minutes. A little soup soy sauce and salt at the end leave room for the sweetness the vegetables give off. By the time it is done, the potato is soft enough to mash along with the rice.
Perilla oil and shredded perilla leaves make this smell much stronger than the usual potato stir-fry. The soy sauce is poured into an empty spot in the hot pan and allowed to bubble before it is stirred through, and in that moment it picks up a faintly scorched, toasty smell that carries over to the potatoes.
Smoked haddock warmed in milk with a bay leaf flavors the whole pot, and that infused milk becomes the base of this soup named after the village of Cullen in northeast Scotland. There is no salt in the ingredient list because smoked fish brings its own, and how much varies by product. Fully cooked potato, not cream or flour, thickens it.
In Takasago, Hyogo, nikuten gets built in layers instead of mixed like okonomiyaki: potato, konjac, cabbage, scallion, beef tendon, and tempura crumbs stack on a thin round of batter, which folds in half after saucing. Because nothing is stirred together, the floury potato, soft tendon, and crisp crumbs each keep their own texture. The potato and konjac simmer with the tendon in soy sauce, sugar, and mirin, so all three share the same sweet-salty seasoning.
In early spring, February to April, when wild chives are around, a handful goes on top of this clam and gochujang stew. Their sharp scent takes the edge off any fishiness from the clams.
