Supporting Sides Are Important
Happy Thanksgiving from the Nola Nerd Couple!
Thanksgiving’s centerpiece is the turkey. However, the star needs some sides to go with it. Here are a couple of sides that can be made quickly that other people enjoy:
Green Bean Casserole: This is one of the dishes that I make that I hate. However, every time I make it people enjoy it and we rarely have seconds. The amount of ingredients is based on the size of your dish. Add enough green beans
Artichoke Au Gratin: Again, used enough canned artichokes to fill the dish you
Dauphinoise Potatoes: Slice some potatoes about 1/8 inch round. Briefly boil them, about 10 minutes. Drain the water and add some heavy cream or evaporated milk (about 5 oz for 2 people so multiply from there). Bring this to a boil and cook for 5 more minutes. Add parmesan to taste. Transfer to baking dish and top with plenty of parmesan. Cook for 15 minutes or until the parmesan browns somewhat.
Smothered Potatoes with Sausage: Slice and brown the sausage first. Typically, I use andouille, but any good smoked sausage would do. Then add quartered potatoes (I like to use red) and enough water to cover. Bring to low boil and stir. The more you stir the better the dish will be. When water boils out, repeat until you have it tasting
These are just easy sides that don’t that much time and have ingredients that are usually on hand. However, using real parmesan will improve the quality of the middle two dishes.
