my son really LOVES me to fix chunked baked potatoes with the skin on & even goes so far as to call it "a meal" !
Lightly spray a shallow casserole dish with cooking spray (olive oil works best for us but plain will do as well)

Here us a colourful idea for both regular and sweet potatoes together
Preheat oven to 350*F
Ingredients: 3 new potatoes( small to medium); 3 red-skinned potatoes(small to medium); 1/2 large cooking onion, chopped(since I love onions, I use 2 small to medium, peel and chunk them instead)

I very often do this.

When I buy potatoes, sometimes I buy 30 lbs at a time. I go through them and pick out the smallest ones. These I boil enough for several meals all at once. Or while fresh and hot, mash with the skins on for mashed potatoes, with out peeling.

The first meal I have is boiled with the skin on, with butter, or bacon bits, or sour cream, smashed with a fork on each persons plate, they do there own.

After that the left over refriderated potatoes can be used for 3 or more days.

Fried in bacon grease, or butter, with or without onions.

Creamed with parsley.

Potato salad, or German potato salad.

Sliced for quick augratin or scalloped in oven or in a skillet.

Slice thicker and french fry in more oil than skillet frying.

They can be peeled or left with the skin on for some dishes.

I'm sure there are other ways to do them but these are our favorites.

When I've used up the smallest potatoes, I can still boil the larger ones later.

My Mother in law and Father in law had potatoes at lunch and dinner every day. They boiled peeled potatoes enough for 2 meals and served them whole or halved for the first meal then fried them in bacon grease for the next meal. They didn't cut them in chunks or slices, just halved, and got a crust on them with just salt and pepper. Like I said this was every day.

Old fashioned POTATO CROQUETTES:

I like to make scallop potatoes.

Thinly slice potatoes and onions, layer in a greased pan (size is according to how much veggies you have).

Mix together light mayo, spices, and 1% milk. Pour over onions/potatoes. You need just enough that it's about 1 inch from border (it will bubble).Add mozzarella cheese on top.

You can put some creamy salad dressing instead of mayo and you don't have to add spices then.

Easy and light!

Enjoy

Cut potatoes into 1" chunks & put in a bowl with tight lid, add 2 TBS. rosemary, fresh or dry, 2 TBS. garlic finely chopped, 2TBS. olive oil shake well to coat potaotes & put in oven & bake at 425 for 20 minutes. you can use sweet potatoes too. That is healthy eating.
