Thai cooking chases the balance of hot, sour, salty and sweet in every dish — fresh, aromatic and unafraid of chilli. When Thai cooks work with potatoes, they reach for fish sauce, lime, lemongrass, galangal, Thai chilli and palm sugar, and the techniques that come up most across these recipes are frying, simmering, roasting and braising.

The comforting carbohydrate that roasts, mashes, fries and bakes its way into cuisines worldwide. In this collection it's most often cooked with fish sauce, massaman curry paste, tamarind paste, coconut milk, roasted peanuts and cinnamon. The dishes here span thai classics ready in as little as 45 minutes to slower, more involved cooking that rewards a relaxed afternoon.

Choosing & preparing potatoes

How to choose

Match the type to the dish: floury/starchy potatoes (Maris Piper, russet) for fluffy mash and crisp roasts; waxy ones for salads and gratins that need to hold their shape. Avoid green or sprouting tubers.

Prep & storage

Store cool and dark, never in the fridge. Parboiling then roughing up the edges gives the crunchiest roast potatoes; soaking cut chips removes surface starch for crisper frying.

Nutrition

A filling source of potassium, vitamin C and resistant starch — most of the fibre and nutrients sit just under the skin.

Classic flavour partners: butter, rosemary, garlic, cheese, chives, black pepper
