These recipes honor that spirit of comfort and care, but with a little help from today’s kitchen workhorses like air fryers, slow cookers, and Blackstones. From buttery, golden Browned Butter Mashed Potatoes to bubbling Cheesy Mashed Potatoes Casserole, and crispy Air Fryer Baked Potatoes to skillet-ready Sweet Potato Black Bean Salad, each dish brings the warmth of the past into the ease of the present. And yes, Crockpot Au Gratin Potatoes are every bit as indulgent as you remember.
