Cacio e Pepe Rösti

“When it comes to potatoes, more is more in my family. A few Thanksgivings ago, not one but two potato dishes appeared on our table—no one batted an eye, and it’s been that way ever since. Mashed potatoes always RSVP to the party, but this year I’m serving rösti inspired by cacio e pepe pasta alongside. I like that you can cut it into elegant wedges—a small slice of civility on a plate otherwise occupied by blobs and scoops. Other pros: The potatoes can be boiled the night before, and all of the cooking takes place on the stovetop, meaning you’re not competing for coveted oven space.” —Christina Chaey, senior food editor
