You may have had scalloped potatoes, but you likely have not had them served in the manner that The Cookie Rookie makes them. Instead of a pile of potato slices in a pot, The Cookie Rookie creates an eye-catching presentation that’s perfect for a holiday table. By standing stacks of potato slices on end, more potatoes will fit into a baking dish, and the recipe looks great when served. Not only does it look nice, but it also tastes great thanks to copious amounts of flavorful garlic and cheese.

It may be heresy to ask you to skip the marshmallows on your sweet potatoes this year, but what if I told you that Tinselbox has an even tastier suggestion? Have you ever tried bacon on your sweet potatoes? It’s a life-changing (or at least meal-changing) dish that might make you give up marshmallow-topped sweet potato casserole for good.

Among Thanksgiving side dish recipes, this one for stuffing muffins from Inside BruCrew Life leans toward the most traditional. In fact, you could use your favorite stuffing recipe and prepare it in muffin tins instead, for your own take on “stuffins.” Those who prefer the crunchy sides or top of stuffing will love stuffing muffins because the muffin pan increases the surface area, which gives each serving more crunchiness, but even those who like the soft interior will enjoy these. And since each is already pre-portioned, serving is simple.
