Every year, Serious Eats publishes a slate of recipes which we think are exciting, informative, rigorously tested, and which expand on the work we’ve been doing for well over a decade now. But after we release our work into the universe, it’s up to you, the reader, to visit the site, cook those recipes, and tell us what you think.
This was the year that our popular annual feature, Starch Madness, focused on the humble-yet-mighty potato, and you responded enthusiastically to our bounty of spuds; in fact, our top recipe of the year was Crispy Baked Potato Wedges. We also pivoted toward publishing more cuisine guides this year, with a few of our Nigerian recipes easily making it on to this list. The most popular recipes from this year are a clear representation of what we (and hopefully you!) think makes Serious Eats so great—cultural representation, science-backed technique, and no small amount of culinary obsessiveness. Also: lots and lots and lots of potatoes. So without further ado, here are the recipes published in 2022 that you, our dear readers, decided to click on and read the most.
