What to make with rice and potatoes: 23 easy dinners

These 23 dinners all use rice and potatoes. The quickest is Chinese hot and sour shredded potatoes, on the table in 40 minutes. Two of them are simple enough for a first try. Under each one is what else you’d need, not counting salt, oil and spices.
