What's on your menu for Christmas?

The twice baked potato recipe is nothing fancy at all.

After baking large Idaho's, scoop the potatoes into a large bowl. Throw in softened butter (about 1 stick if you're making 8 potatoes :shock, 1 - 8 oz. container of sour cream, approx. 1 C. sharp shredded cheddar, 8 oz. room temp. cream cheese. Use elec. mixer just to blend. Add a small amount of milk to help with the consistency. Re-fill potato skins and top with a sprinkling of crispy bacon bits (real, not the kind from a jar). Place under the broiler for a minute or two right before time to serve dinner.

As you can see, this is not a health conscience side dish, nor a fancy, gormet one!!

thanks JR, this is really good stuff. basic but the real deal. will try it for sure!

Where does someone buy a goose? Never bought one or seen one for sale. I think I would like to try some different things this year. Balder and his bro like to cook meat outside, you know, things like bear.
PS That is my first double quote reply!

I think you have to shoot the goose. Maybe the same place you get the bear.

With a potato ricer.
I don't own one, but some folks swear by them.

Listen to Toots...she is a wise wise woman! Step away from the ricer!!!

Mr. K just bought one after we tried the food mill one time. Those were possibly the worst potatoes ever. Just give me a hand mixer or a masher anyday.

The last few times I made mashed taters, I just used the hand masher and I gotta say they came out great. Mmmm.

Stuffed it in the cabinet. Any ideas for alternate uses...could I squeeze water out of spinach in it? BTW...Mr. K thinks they were good. Probably just saving face.

Our food focused family will be sharing - On Christmas Eve, a Seafood Platter (shrimp, oysters, crab claws, mussels, clams) and turkducken (never made one before!) followed by a cheese course (the stinkier the better!) with baguette, butter, figs and pears and lots of wine and champagne On Christmas Day, we are serving a Roast Goose with ??? - we haven't decided on what to serve with the goose as of today. Any suggestions?
