We also made Joel Robuchon's mashed potatoes recipe.


Brussels Sprouts Salad

Dry brined turkey, cornbread dressing, mashed potatoes (Robuchon), roasted yams with pecan and maple (Ottolenghi), blistered green beans with shallots and pistachios (Nik Sharma), homemade gravy and cranberry sauce.



Spiced pumpkin pie (Ottolenghi)

I haven't tried my leftover potatoes yet today but I doubt that they will be as silky as last night. Maybe I will need to add more butter.

I googled about leftover mash and in general its 325 for 25-30 minutes, and adding some liquid on top. It worked!!!

I know how to reheat potatoes....as I said, these are not regular mashed potatoes.

Seems like I have been eating in vengeance .
Forgot to take photos after this first dish .
No turkey but goose on Thanksgiving ..
Goose cooked 2 ways - braised & crispy , steamed pomfret , different types of beancurd / tofu prepared in various ways with gourd , braised , steamed , fried , cannot list all we had ! Hong Kong kai lan with flat fish , braised ? mee pok ( noodles ) with seafood ..
Not been to this 90 years old Teochew ( Chinese ) restaurant before . Not in an area we frequent but the owner ‘ s repertoire is amazing !
The black bean crystal dumpling itself , which I had for dessert , is worth a return visit .
Would have had a third if I was not so stuffed ! Something that has to be eaten freshly steamed - that in itself is an art . Has about 60 ? desserts he can prepare .
Translates to no “ take away “ ..
Available only on certain days & too bad if regulars order all of them - only does “ limited edition “ off menu which he makes by hand himself .

Teochew cold crab
This was one of the smallest crab I have had but look at the packed roe .

the freshly steamed dessert reminds me of Millefeuille which is best when eaten upon purchase and not taken out of shop when possible. I know its better in Breton but B Patisserie in sf has an excellent one.

With the caveat that I hate makes potatoes under any circumstances, I found the 50-50 potatoes to be absurdly rich. One bite was enough.

If you hate mashed potatoes, then which kinds of potatoes do you not hate? Im fascinated that somebody hates mashed potatoes. I can understand preferring baked fried boiled raw salad or another iteration of potato more than mashed; but to hate mashed potatoes???? Oh wow!

There are many versions of this online....all similar. The one I used called for milk & not cream. Actually the ratio of liquid to the potatoes is pretty small and I guess as the butter cubes melt in it creates liquid. I might make it again...when we can have guests over....that was a lot of work for just me but for sure delicious and silky.

I love most sweet potato preparations, including mashed.
