Brewpub coming soon!
So, use real butter, use real cream, use all the fat from the drippings to make awesome gravy, and have two pieces of pumpkin pie. You can eat like a rabbit again on Friday.
Amen to that! My mashed potatoes have heavy cream, imported Irish butter, vermouth and olive oil drizzled fresh roasted garlic, fresh cracked white pepper, and a topper of some fresh grated Romano cheese, heart stoppingly good!!
Wondering what to do with the leftovers? I chill them, form into golf ball size balls, roll in Panko breadcrumbs and freeze thanksgiving night. Now what to serve as a side to the Friday lunchtime turkey, cranberry compote, stuffing and gravy sandwich? I deep fry the frozen mashed potato balls in some olive oil and top with more Romano cheese!
The key is the breadcrumbs and the freezing, with all the butter, heavy cream, and cheese, you are basically trying to deep fry fat. they will dissolve in the hot oil if not coated and frozen stiff. doing the math on a decent sized serving of the deep-fried mashed potato balls, it tips the scales at over 1000 calories. Mmmmm Mmmmm Good!!!
All this discussion about bad for you food has got me hankering for some Scrapple. I just need to dig out that recipe, it's around here somewhere.....
