How to return "recent downloads" to the dock?

I accidentally deleted recent downloads shortcut from the dock, the one where you get to see and access last few files that been downloaded. Searching for the answer online only led me to "how to add the downloads folder" and this is not what I am looking for, as I don't need the whole folder.


Thank you!

Choose Home from the Finder's Go menu, drag the Downloads folder to the Dock, control-click it, and change the options as desired. The Recent Downloads shortcut is to it.
