Our Best Pot Pie Ideas
Pot pie is always delicious—it’s comforting and full of complex textures. Filled with hearty meat (like chicken, beef or turkey) and packed with nutritious vegetables, it’s a full dinner all in one, and pie crust or puffed pastry adds buttery flavor and flaky texture. Regardless of how you make it, this filling dinner is the definition of family-friendly comfort food. Better yet? It’s a classic one-pot meal that cuts down on cleanup. These recipes, which range from traditional to twists on the classic (pretzel topping, anyone?) all share one thing in common: they’re sure to satisfy the whole family.
This classic dish is as hearty and wholesome as it gets. It’s creamy and meaty with bold flavor from fresh thyme, bay leaves and black pepper. Mushrooms, peas, carrots and pearl onions add fresh, vegetal flavor to help round out the rich filling. A buttery, crunchy topping gets baked until golden and crispy.

I Tried 12 Popular Potato Chip Brands—This Is the One I’m Buying From Now On
By Ann Walczak
Published on October 29, 2024
I’m not sure what the original snack food was, but as far as I’m concerned, it’s potato chips. Thin, crispy, salty to the max, and good on their own or as a vehicle for dips, there’s really no limit to their enjoyment. Pour them into a giant bowl for party sharing, toss them next to (or even in) a sandwich for lunch, or wedge a bag into the center console of your car to keep commute crankiness at bay.
Now, you might be thinking (as I admittedly did when starting this assignment), how different can potato chip brands really be? Don’t they all use pretty much the same ingredients? They sure do. Though there are some discrepancies in types of oils and in kettle-cooked vs. fried or flat vs. ridges, it’s not like we can dive deep into flavor notes here. How the chip tastes is still paramount, but this ranking will lean much more heavily on things like texture, crunch, and what the eating experience is like, re: snackability.
For this test, I sampled chips as plain as they could get. No added flavors, no ridges, no nothing, except the potatoes themselves and however heavy a dash of salt the brand deemed appropriate. Let’s dig in.
