slo's Wednesday poll - Sweet potatoes vs. Mashed potatoes

[slo]

Hi all!!!

I haven't done a poll since I came home from vacation.
I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving tomorrow - gobble!! gobble!!!!!
Don't eat to much!!!!!

Onto the poll.................................................


If you had to choose only one to eat tomorrow, which would it be..............
Sweet potatoes or Mashed potatoes??????











This is hard for me
I would probably choose the sweet potatoes, because I only make them once a year, and I make some pretty darn good candied sweet potatoes. Plus, it used to be my grandmas's traditional dish, and after she passed away unexpectedly in 2006, I decided to continue making them.











Poll coming!!!!!!!

We're having both, and I'm eating both!

 

[cruellababy]

I picked other as there wasn't a both and I eat turkey!

 

[Rora]

I guess I would have to pick Mashed but it was a really tough decision.

Really tough.

 

[clgwli]

I would pick mashed potatoes. We are also making both for everyone.

 

[MinnieM21]

I LOVE sweet potatoes! They're one of my favorite foods.

If I could only have one, I would go with the Candied Sweet Potatoes. We only make them at the holidays and it seems like we have mashed taters every other week around here.

 

[Savsmommy]

I love them both. I'd have to go with candied sweet potatoes. We only have them on Thanksgiving and Christmas.

I picked mashed potatos. I have a great new recipe for it.....


1 tablespoon butter
4 pounds russet potatoes, peeled, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 cup whole milk
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted
1 1/2 cups grated mozzarella
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons plain dry bread crumbs
Directions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Coat a 13 by 9 by 2-inch baking dish with 1 tablespoon of butter and set aside.

Cook the potatoes in a large pot of boiling salted water until they are very tender, about 15 minutes. Drain; return the potatoes to the same pot and mash well. Mix in the milk and melted butter. Mix in the mozzarella and 3/4 cup of the Parmesan. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Transfer the potatoes to the prepared baking dish. Stir the bread crumbs and remaining 1/4 cup of Parmesan in a small bowl to blend. Sprinkle the bread crumb mixture over the mashed potatoes. Recipe can be prepared up to this point 6 hours ahead of time; cover and chill.

Bake, uncovered, until the topping is golden brown, about 20 minutes.

I can't wait to make it!!!

Nope...no both
You gotta pretend like you don't have a choice but to pick one
Even though that would be pretty rude for the host/hostess of the meal to make you choose
