If you haven’t seen this commercial, I almost pee in my pants every time I see it because I am laughing so hard! Of course, I knew it had to be on you tube! But seriously, Thanksgiving is only a few weeks away, and over the next few weeks, I will post some holiday recipes. When I go to my husband’s side of the family, he has 10 brothers and sisters and there are 20 something grandchildren, so there is always a ton of people there. Everyone brings an appetizer, side dish, desert, etc. One year, I decided to make a baked potato bar. Basically, you cook a whole bunch of potatoes, covered in foil, then put them in a nice basket (they keep warm for a really long time). Then I just served fixin’s to go with it. Shredded cheese, sour cream, chives, bacon bits, etc… Then all someone had to do was grab a tater, and fix it how they like it. The best part was you can make a little or a lot, and most times you can buy a 5 lb. bag of potatoes for under $5.00! If you are stumped about what to bring, let me know and I will try to help!
The baked potato bar sounds like a great idea! I’m already worried about all the high calorie goodies that are sure to be at Thanksgiving!
