When it's cold outside people start thinking of comfort foods, and I'm guessing the humble potato would be at the top of the list for many people as being one of the ultimate winter comfort foods. I don't even eat white potatoes that often, but when I think of dishes I could never resist resist if they were served to me, at the top of my list would be Utah Funeral Potatoes. I'm willing to bet that people all over the world have their favorite potato comfort food dishes as well. BlogHer is doing A Month of Side Dishes this month, so here are twenty suggestions for absolutely drool-worthy potato side dishes you might want to put on your menu.
