Less than 3 weeks. Are you ready? For Thanksgiving that is. Thanksgiving has long been my favorite holiday. Pretty much just for the mashed potatoes. Last year we had so many potatoes for Thanksgiving. I was in heaven. We had mashed, lumpy and smooth. I’m a lumpy girl, myself. We had Pioneer Woman’s sweet potatoes, and we had Marge’s potatoes.Which I think are more widely known as crack potatoes or Cracker Barrel potatoes. So, basically I had a giant plate of potatoes with a little stuffing and some brussel sprouts stuck in there. Heaven!!
This year I thought we would change things up a bit. Instead of making a big casserole dish of sweet potatoes we have made wedges. With all the offerings available at Thanksgiving I usually just want a little of this and a little of that. These wedges fit in perfectly. You can take just 1 or two wedges instead of a big old scoop or sweet potatoes. This way you have plenty of room for pie! These wedges were really delicious. They are sweet and crunchy, just the way I like them.
Here is what you’ll need
Cut the potatoes into wedges and sprinkle with salt and pepper
Top with the brown sugar mixture
Add the marshmallows
A great addition to any Thanksgiving meal!
