Penny, How do you make crock pot mashed potatoes? I usually make them at the last minute, scrambling to get them, and everything else, on the table. Sometimes I use Trader Joe's frozen mashed potatoes, but, I'll bet fresh crock pot would be better. Abby

Hi Dixie, I make the same basic recipe every year. But, I find that I consult dozens of variations on the theme before Thanksgiving arrives. I'm always trying to hoan in on the perfect ratio of liquid to cornbread! Sometimes I think it has turned out perfectly; other times, I think it's too dry or too wet. Actually, it is always delicious and everyone's favorite part of Thanksgiving! I make a cornbread sausage dressing based on the one that my Aunt Ann always made. Its basic ingredients are cornbread, mild sage-scented sausage, eggs, giblet broth, lots of onions, a little celery, and parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme! And, when there are vegetarians at the table, I make essentially the same dressing/stuffing minus the sausage, with the addition of mushrooms, and substituting vegetable broth and cream for the turkey giblet broth. Sometimes I make white and wild rice supplemented with toasted pecans and dried cranberries too, but I haven't done that for a while. After a while, one just has to stop adding dishes to the groaning table! If there are vegetarians at the table, I often make a mushroom "gravy," sans meat or fowl, so they have gravy to put on top of their mushroom stuffing. Once I made the stuffing in the crock pot, but I thought it was too dry, so I never did it again. And, now, I use the crock pot for the mashed potatoes anyway.
