Gratin Dauphinois
Thanksgiving is exactly 20 days away. How is that even possible?! And then exactly .5 seconds later it’ll be Christmas. Or something like that anyway. So I figured we’ll jump right into the swing of things and have fun with some new Thanksgiving recipes because one can never have too many mouth watering options, right?
Next to the 4th of July, Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. I love them for two vastly different reasons of course. But both have amazing dishes, created for the season. Holidays that semi-revolve around food make me very happy. I know it’s suppose to be about being thankful and giving back, but how can you look forget about the stuffing, potatoes, rolls, pies and of course the turkey?
Are you drooling thinking about it all?
Mashed potatoes are pretty traditional and practically a must have, but why not offer a dressed up potato dish too? Imagine layers of sliced potatoes baked in a garlic cream sauce and covered with shredded cheese. Oh it’s heavenly. Add red pepper flakes for an added kick, if desired. In this house, it’s a must. I love a spicy kick.
Gratin Dauphinois

- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes optional
Instructions

My favorite Thanksgiving dish is pecan or pumpkin pie. And god I need this food processor! 14 cups!!! The things I could make with it….
My favorite Thanksgiving side dish is green bean casserole. I haven’t had it years..as it was something my Dad made and no one else likes it but me. Maybe I’ll bring it back this year with my own creative twist!

My favorite Thanksgiving side dish has to be the cornbread dressing or “stuffing” as some call it.
My favorite is scalloped potatoes.
