    Potato and sweet potato dishes are perfect for Friendsgiving because they’re crowd-friendly, comforting, and easy to transport. What I love most about these recipes is how they work whether you’re hosting or bringing a dish to share. From crispy air fryer options that cook fast to make-ahead casseroles that travel well, these potato dishes solve the problem of feeding a group of friends without breaking the bank or spending all day cooking.
