By the Saturday or Sunday following Thanksgiving, after a more than a couple of cranberry topped turkey sandwiches and big pot of turkey soup, I’m ready to be done with Thanksgiving for another year. But, what about all those potatoes, stuffing, and roast vegetables that always seem to be the last things to go?
Crisp it, cheese it, and put an egg on it I say! Any gravy left, even better. If not, a handful of pickled jalapenos or
spoonful of kimchi never hurt.
Heat a bit of oil in a large frying pan over medium high
heat. Once hot, spread the leftovers
evenly over the bottom of the pan, being sure to chop up any of the larger pieces
first…and maybe forgo the creamed spinach.
Be patient, give them time to
crisp up, if there’s a lot of butter in the mashed potatoes it may take a bit
longer than usual.
As soon as they’re golden and crispy, flip in sections and brown
for another few minutes. Top with a
generous pile of shredded cheddar or other mild cheese then turn down the heat
and cover.
While the cheese is melting, fry or poach your eggs in
another pan. Just before the eggs are
done, plate your crispy cheesy leftovers and top with the eggs.
Now, Thanksgiving 2020 is officially over.
