Versatile and filling, potatoes can be baked in the oven, steamed on a stove or even cooked in a slow cooker. Try your hand at each method and pick your favorite way of cooking these starchy tubers.

Alton's basic recipe for a baked potato becomes a complete dinner with your favorite potato toppings. Cook large, russet potatoes for an hour in the oven and serve with a variety of fixings from sour cream and chives to cheddar cheese.

Not in the mood to turn on the oven? Daisy Martinez puts potatoes in a large saucepan or Dutch oven and simmers them on the stove. Toss them with eggs and red pepper for a colorful salad.

All you need is 15 minutes' prep time to turn potatoes, ham and peas into a delicious slow cooked soup.

For a twist on classic fries, soak these spuds in vinegar and then refrigerate to allow the natural sugars to develop and then fry them until they are golden brown.
