Maybe you can have two potato dishes. Why not? Gobble till you wobble! I'm making two different kinds of stuffing. Anywho, some other ideas are wild rice and mushrooms, stuffed mushrooms, or squash casserole.Someone has a potatoes dish already covered. Honestly i was disappointed because the hasselback Au Gratin potatoes you did was the first potatoe dish that came to mind!
Bacon Wrapped Poblanos Stuffed with Cheesy Rice, those were killer!
Make it like a casserole without the bacon, with a queso sauce.
Roasted tomatoes, scoop them out and fill with mushroom/bacon risotto.
Pack them into a casserole dish with fresh basil and a little thin tomato sauce.
Yea maybe your right! Nothing wrong with lots of taters! And it is Thanksgiving so who cares how stuffed you get!Maybe you can have two potato dishes. Why not? Gobble till you wobble!

Here's one recipe I've used, (but it will turn to mush if you let it "keep warm" in a crock pot for too long), https://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/wild-rice-mushroom-bake/
There is nothing better than roasted root vegetables in poultry drippings! And then to make a gravy with the liquid! Yes! This is kinda how i do chicken leg quarters. I like to include parsnips and sweet potato in the veggies. Those are beautiful veggies!I do my veggies in the smoker UNDER the turkey. Big pan, filled with onions, two bulbs of garlic cloves, carrots, russets, Yukon golds, and sweet potatoes. Sprinkle with rub used on the turkey, then dump about a half bottle of cheap white wine or rose' in the veggies. The pan collects the drippings and the veggies caramelize and roast nicely. If you cut the potatoes no bigger than about a inch to an inch and a half thick, they'll finish at the same time as the turkey.
Scoop out the veggies, make gravy out of the liquid/drippings left in the pan, and serve. Listen to the OMGs around the table as people take a bite.

1/4 cup | celery minced |
1/4 cup | chopped nuts |
1/4 cup | minced apple |
1 can | oceanspray whole cranberry sauce |
1 1/2 cup | cold water |
foamheart what kind of apple? A tart one or a sweet eating one? Or does it matter? This sounds pretty good!For the past 20 years, I have deferred cooking to the younger members of the family. That way they can build their own stories to tell some day..LOL BUT that being said, Gotta have turkey and dressing AND you should try this cranberry jello mold. It just Thanksgiving without it. Its easy, you can make it a week ahead, You don't need a mold, just make it in a pyrex casserole pan or nearly anything else. This is outstanding!
Other than that the family finally settled down to just having whatever is fresh. Generally Broccoli, Cauliflower, cabbage, Greens and lots of pickles, canned fruits etc.... Spiced peaches! Oh and pies! Sweet Potato, Pecan, Pineapple cream, etc etc...

Thanks we like the honey crisp! Thats a real good eating apple. Thanks again for posting this, definitely worth giving a try!I like honey crisp, but any apple will do. Honey Crisp is just my favourite. Remember mince is very small chopped, the same with the celery, if they are not chopped small they are a hard bite. You need just a little crunch.
My favorite is a big ole Sweet Tater Casserole
