I love potatoes and
look for any excuse to make them. I particularly
love mashed potatoes (What can I say? I’m a simple girl at heart.), especially
when they are submerged under a river of deep, rich, gravy. But sometimes I like to mix things up a bit,
and what better time to do so than when serving a holiday meal? Here are four different ideas for potatoes,
from the elegant to easy make-ahead, that will draw raves from your
guests. You can access the recipe by

A real holiday
dazzler, everything can be made a day ahead; brandy takes these over the top.
These can be made
two hours ahead and, really, who doesn’t love anything with bacon?
Thin layers of
russet potatoes, sandwiched between a single layer of wild mushrooms, and
topped with a mixture of creamy Fontina and nutty Gruyere make this a dish worth
remembering.
Blanch and peel the
onions the day prior and these go together in a flash; deceptively easy and dangerously
delicious.

ReplyDeleteOh how I adore potatoes, Pattie. I do believe I could eat them everyday! You sure have some mighty good looking choices here. I'm thinking that Wild Mushroom Potato Gratin is calling my name!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing, Pattie...
