I have a 'stragglers Thanksgiving' that's what I call it at my house every year, writes Frances Teasley of North Hollywood, California. I know a lot of people who, like me, don't have any family nearby. Thirteen years ago I started inviting a few people for dinner. And that small holiday gathering has become a big tradition among my friends. For weekday meals, I look for shortcuts and do-aheads. But for holiday meals, I like to do everything the same day because I love the smell of cooking that fills the house. Ingredients:
3 pounds russet potatoes, peeled, cut into 1-inch pieces |
4 large celery stalks with leaves, very thinly sliced |
3 garlic cloves |
2 small bay leaves |
1/4 cup whipping cream |
3 tablespoons butter |
chopped celery leaves |
Directions:
1. Cook potatoes, sliced celery, garlic, and bay leaves in pot of boiling salted water until potatoes are tender, about 12 minutes. Drain potatoes. Return to same pot; remove bay leaves. Add cream and butter and mash well. Season with salt and pepper. Rewarm over low heat, stirring occasionally. Transfer potato mixture to bowl; sprinkle with chopped celery leaves.
