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.

I love Mt aunts creamy mashed potatoes, I still have yet to have her share the recipe. I follow baked by Rachel on Facebook.
My favorite thanksgiving dish is my mither’s stuffing, which is a basic ‘out of the bag’ stuffing, to which she adds celery and walnuts. Yum!

I Love a sweet potato casserole with a rice krispie, brown sugar and nut crunch on top…..YUM
I love oven-baked sweet potatoes served plain with cinnamon and a little sugar. Simple, but a real holiday treat :)
The favorite at our house is broccolli, cheese and rice casserole. I love this dish and it is a definite staple for us on Thanksgiving.

My favorite side is a rice dish I make.

So very hard to pick a favorite dish when it comes to Thanksgiving because all of it is delicious. I would have to say a moist turkey with some homemade gravy would be the best part but it is very close with mashed potatoes, stuffing and green beans in the race.
This potatoe dish looks so delicious and sooooo easy. Thanks for sharing (and the opportunity). I’m definitely going to give it a try.

My favorite side dish at thanksgiving has to be the sweet potato anything. Casserole, baked, mashed… As long a its covered in brown sugar and cinnamon and butter, I’m good!

I fololow Baked by Racheal on face book, megamix too!
Is pumpkin pie considered a side dish?? I would have to vote for that as my favorite. But for those who want to argue over the actual “side dishness” of a luscious pumpkin pie…I”ll give my twice baked sweet potatoes as a close second.
Favorite….stuffing hands down!
