Roasted Polenta Potatoes

Crispy Crunchy, Coated Roasted Polenta Potatoes infused with a garlic herb oil and one of our family's favorite flavorful potato side dishes for any meal.

Perfect with any weeknight meal and can be made ahead of time and reheated with the best fresh-made flavor (especially reheated in an air fryer).

Add these to our recipe for Sheet Pan Sausage and Peppers. This addition will be addictive for a crunchy coating instead of breadcrumbs.

For breakfast and brunch, I cut potatoes into large cubes, cut down on the garlic, and roast them in a blazing hot oven for maximum crunch on the exterior, and they go great with bacon and eggs.

The cornmeal gives these are nice toasty taste when baked in the oven, and a nice alternative to breadcrumbs.

These easy baked and crispy style potato wedges are perfect to take to potlucks, and side dish for backyard BBQs.

Everyone raves about these,e and they taste terrific plain or with marinara or your favorite dipping sauces.

There is a wonderful roundup below of tried and true recipes we make from year to year and some new additions to try.


Who could pass up homemade gravy, broccoli topped with cheese with a crunchy stuffing topping or a delicious Amaretto Pumpkin Cheesecake?


Everyone always looks forward to the desserts, there is always apple pie, pumpkin pecan tart pie, chocolate marble cream pie and old fashioned banana pudding on our tables.


Something for everyone and even some fluffy yeast rolls or broccoli cheese cornbread goes great with any brined Turkey.


We love our leftover hot covered Turkey sandwiches later in the week and make Turkey pot pies with leftovers.


I would love to hear what you do with your leftover Turkey and how you repurpose it for another meal in the comments.


Happy Thanksgiving and have a delicious day from our house to yours!

Scalloped Cheesy Potatoes Recipe

Scalloped potatoes are the perfect side dish with any meal.

This is really a classic recipe that everyone makes just a little differently.

My version due to cheese lovers in this house, has to have added cheese so these are more Au Gratin style.

I use lots of garlic instead of onion, or you can use both if you like, fresh parsley and shredded provolone give this dish its Italian taste.

These potatoes are perfect with any meats you serve, great for entertaining, and perfect for potluck.

They have a hint of that smoked flavor using leftover ham, cooked bacon, or prosciutto mixed in.

With this crunchy topping, it just takes ordinary scalloped potatoes to the next level of yumminess.

I always end up making these after a big holiday ham with leftovers and everyone looks forward to these creamy baked spuds.

We love all kinds of casseroles, and I can make this my dinner when I add meat to it all in one pan meal!

Mom made many delicious casseroles growing up like this one and another favorite was the famous Classic Tuna Casserole back in the 1960s.
