Let's face it, the holidays can be a bit stressful. You can plan and prep for weeks, but there is still so much to do on Thanksgiving day, and getting the timing right is truly an art. That's why we're such a fan of this recipe- you can assemble this dish ahead of time so that on the day of, all you have to do is stick it in the oven!
Here's some of our tips to make this recipe easier:
- Use a mandoline! There's no reason to spend an hour slicing potatoes when you can have it done in minutes. Just be sure to wear a cut glove to protect your fingers from the sharp blade!
- Making it ahead of time? Prepare the recipe right up to the point that you would put it in the oven, then wrap the top with plastic wrap and refrigerate until your ready to bake it!
- Use a high quality baking dish! We recommend using a ceramic or cast iron dish that you can take from oven to table. This reduces the amount of dishes you need, and will keep it warm on the table while everyone is making their plates!
