I didn't know potato dishes would even qualify as "vegetable", and
there are some "most favored" dishes which are a lot of work and don't
get offered too often, so I'm not sure how to answer the question.

Currently there's a thing for curried cauliflower, "popcorn"
cauliflower, which is crazy good and pretty easy.

And in my family we've had a lot of Chinese food cooked at home on
special occassions even though none of us is remotely Chinese, and
this has included a lot of veggies. Eggplant with spicy sauce. Bok
choy and mushrooms. Green beans with XO sauce.

Sometimes the traditional green been casserole works.

Other times there are potatoes au gratin or potatoes lyonnaise, or
sweet potatoes with full marshmallow toppings, etc, that when anyone
wants to go to the bother, and they work out, get eaten up quick.
