Fewer of the “must make” dishes of fall and winter feasts and more opportunity to riff a little. Of course, riffing is a whole lot less stressful and more fun when you know the recipes you’re using are going to work—and ours do. Here are a few of the recipes I’m making for Easter (it’s a smaller group this year with my kids grown and flown).

For a moist ham with a glaze that complements but doesn’t overwhelm the meat, choose our recommended type of ham at the market and then slowly heat it to this relatively low (but safe—spiral sliced hams are previously cooked) internal temperature. [“] In the 18 years I have been cooking ham for the family Easter dinner, I have never landed on a recipe good enough to repeat a second year. Not only will I use this recipe again next Easter, I may have to repeat once or more in the meantime. –Patricia G., All-Access Member [”] [Icon] Step-By-Step Photos The last step to making the perfect ham is carving it like a pro. Despite its name, spiral sliced hams are not fully sliced.

[Connecticut’s most famous potato recipe]( Lighthouse Inn Potatoes Member Rating: [Star Icon] [Comment Icon] 245 comments This famed dish from a now-shuttered Connecticut resort hotel is essentially a supercharged gratin. Cubed russet potatoes are simmered in cream enriched with butter and Parmesan. We add a little baking soda to neutralize the potatoes’ naturally acidic tannins, which could cause the sauce to separate if left unchecked. Baked under a topping of buttery, cheesy bread crumbs, the result is a creamy, crunchy, impossibly rich scene-stealing side—perfect for a holiday meal. [“] This was the best potato dish I’ve ever made! I followed the recipe exactly and it was perfect. This will be a family favorite for years to come. Thank you! –Suzanne B., All-Access Member [”] [Icon] Ingredient Testing The name “panko”derives from the Japanese words for “bread” (“pan”) and “flour” or “powder” (“ko”). Panko bread crumbs are coarse, flaky bread crumbs made from crustless, airy white bread. Individual pieces of panko are irregularly shaped and are often larger, flakier, and drier than homemade and dried bread crumbs; they’re the crunchiest of the three styles. Tasters noted our favorite panko “browned beautifully” and “stayed crisp” while other brands’ harder crumbs were almost too crunchy.

[Bye-bye butter.]( Lemon–Olive Oil Tart Member Rating: [Star Icon] [Comment Icon] 394 comments “Ditch the butter for better flavor” is something you’ll rarely hear, but in this case, it’s true. Most lemon tart recipes feature butter in both the curd and the crust. We went in another direction, using extra-virgin olive oil, which makes the press-in-pan crust a snap (no chilling or rolling required!). And because butter’s dairy proteins bind to flavor compounds in lemon, muting its flavor, using olive oil allows lemons’ tart acidity to shine in a rich, firm filling. [“] Delicious! Easy! Dairy free for the lactose intolerant! And forgiving as all heck! . . . This dessert can be whipped up in no time and rivals the best I’ve had from a patisserie. –Kathleen G., All-Access Member [”] [Icon] Related Recipes [Financiers; Carrot Layer Cake; Strawberry-Rhubarb Pie]( Couldn’t-be-easier lemony showstopper [GET INSTANT ACCESS]( And a free special issue!
