My thoughts:

I came across a advert of white patato filling inwards an article close Thanksgiving traditions too regional foods people immature adult woman when they deed from their hometown. We all know how fond I am of sauerkraut at Thanksgiving too thence whatever advert of a quirky regional dish catches my attention. Apparently this is oft served at Thanksgiving too sometimes fifty-fifty stuffs the turkey (!) only I idea it was a corking means to usage upwards the leftover mashed potatoes that, let's human face upwards it, oft operate dumped. You in all probability withal convey roughly turkey to serve alongside this only if not, ham or chicken would hold upwards tasty too. It is similar a crazy homey hybrid of stuffing too mashed potatoes. I took attention non to overcook the celery too thence it provided a expert crunch, breaking upwards the creaminess of the potatoes. It mightiness hold upwards a chip homely looking only it is too thence expert too this is coming from a real rare casserole eater.
