The Side Dishes
Lots of people write about recipes for preparing turkey for Thanksgiving, but there’s not as much out there on the side dishes. So here’s my contribution, a little ditty about mashed potatoes:
Boil potatoes until soft, mash with butter (or perhaps olive oil would also work) and chives. Sprinkle in a small palmful of kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. When potatoes are mushy, add a couple dollops of sour cream. Mash again until all ingredients are well-distributed and set aside.
(Yeah, mashed potatoes are easy to do. So what? They’re hearty and add a lot to a meal.)
Sometime during this week I’ll also have to figure out how to prepare kalbi short ribs, which I suspect has a lot to do with getting the marinade right. Should be fun; any tips are appreciated.
