Going to a friend's house for dinner in a couple days and I've been assigned to bring a starch. Any good/easy ideas? All I can think of is mashed potatoes and roasted potatoes.....Does anyone have a more interesting recipe than that!?

Can you make a baked zita? Or do they only mean veggie starch?
-
@CupQuakeWalk: Hmm, well, she did not specify but I guess I'm thinking veggie because I know that the hostess is serving steaks and kale salad!
And for some reason potatoes really go with those two things (at least I think so!)
-
Hasselback potatoes?
-
@Mrs. Sketchbook: those look fancy! but delicious!
-
@Mrs. Sketchbook: I was going to suggest these too! So yummy and easy to make. I used this recipe last time: http://www.closetcooking.com/2013/10/fully-loaded-hasselback-potatoes.html
-
Haven't done this particular one but my mom has the recipe and I don't. Not healthy, but delicious.

We had butternut squash (roasted with butter and cinnamon) with our steaks tonight.
-
@NurseMommy: um, YUM!!!!!!!!!!!
-
@Mrsjets: butternut squash that's a good idea too!
-
I was also thinking maybe SWEET potato could work too? but all the recipes I see for it have them mashed and sweet and creamy......like Thanksgiving style.
-
@Ginabean3: how bout crash potatoes? I think you can fully load them also!
-
@Ginabean3: mmmm, yes! I 2nd the fully loaded crash potatoes.
-
I always do sweet potatoes with our steaks. Just cut them up in chunks and toss with EVOO, S&P, and a few thyme sprigs. Yum!
-
Risotto!
-
@stine_ciro: oh that sounds delish!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
@MrsH: I love risotto but I've never made it myself. I always thought it was really hard to make? At least on Top Chef whenever they make it they're like, "I have to get this risotto perfect, blah blah blah,..." And if a Top Chef has problems making it perfectly, well, I don't want to think of what kind of mush my risotto will turn out to be!
-
@Ginabean3: I don't think it is that hard at all but perhaps I'm just making it wrong
-
Cheesy potatoes are always a hit at our gatherings or sweet potato with olive oil, pepper, salt, & garlic powder...delcious!
-
I second the sweet potatoes, cut up and roast with some oil and yummy spices. Or if you want regular potatoes, maybe scalloped? Totally not healthy but can be yummy.
Or for something different maybe a squash soufflé type dish?
I think I'd avoid risotto because it needs to be served right after cooking - probably wouldn't transport well. -
Great savory Sweet Potato mash
