My mom's mashed potatoes and deviled eggs. She got to the point she no longer liked making either before she passed because every party she attended asked her to make those 2 haha.
Deviled eggs are my ****. -
My grandmothers creamed corn, God rest her soul. She'd send granddad to Cas Walker's (Knoxville grocer) for 1 darn ear of corn if she was short. "Floyd, I need you to go to the store..." Poor old guy. Circa early 1960's.. He was a retired Fire Chief of a station in or near the Oak Ridge nuke facilities. They were the best. Great memories.LBGE, AR. Lives in N.E. ATL

So many people love their mom's or wife's dressing. I'd love to try out an awesome non-top secret recipe. My dressing is good...it just won't be a stand out today.Just a hack that makes some $hitty BBQ....

@cazzy my mom's is pretty much just a southern cornbread dressing. Just alot of sage. I'll see if I can get a recipe worked up.2-XLs ,MM,blackstone,Ooni koda 16,R&V works 8.5 gallon fryer,express smoker and 40" smoking cajun

I do smoked mashed potatoes every year. Red potatoes, parsnips. And onions pre boiled then roasted under the bird. Get a great smoked gravy and potatoes. Did them under a rack of pork this year to bring to Florida they are in the oven now.

I could not find parsnips this year, out everywhere. I don't think I tried a parsnip until I was maybe 30 or 35, I love them. Will be serving roasted carrots and sweet potatoes without them this year.

Well, I married me a wife, she's been trouble all my life,

Ten years ago or so I found a sweet potato recipe with chipotle chiles. It's been my favorite ever since (never got into all the sweet marshmallow/brown sugar/pineapple kinda toppings).___________

Gotta add one more... String? Green beans - the kind that cook flat. Mom would sit me down with a giant bowl and I would "de-vein" them. Then she'd cook em with some type of ham bone, usually till they burned. Lol. I came to love the blackened ones from the bottom of the pot.
This year I bought a quart precooked from Matthews cafeteria, a local 1956 institution in Tucker, Ga. I plan to scorch em in her memory later today!LBGE, AR. Lives in N.E. ATL -
I think may favorites are the Scalloped Corn Casserole and the Green Bean Casserole made with French Cut Green Beans like it is suppose to be made with.

Sweet potatoe casserole!

I dunno. I can't list dressing or giblet gravy - they aren't sides - they are essential to the meal; the heart of Thanksgiving. The turkey is just a carrier. I can't list pecan pie - it's a dessert and not a side.
Beyond the listed, I don't really care. I'm going to hurt myself with turkey, dressing, gravy, and pie. If I MUST choose, I'll pick sweet potatoes. Wait, can I pick alcohol as a side?Coleman, Texas
Large BGE & Mini Max for the wok. A few old camp Dutch ovens and a wood fired oven. LSG 24” cabinet offset smoker. There are a few paella pans and a Patagonia cross in the barn. A curing chamber for bacterial transformation of meats...

nolabrew said:My mom's neighbor when she was growing up always made amazing dressing. When my mom got married and moved from Asheville to Atlanta, she begged her neighbor for the recipe and her neighbor gave it to her with the condition that she never tells anyone else. My dad's sister, Mary, started begging my mom for the dressing recipe and since she was nervous about fitting in with her new relatives she gave her the recipe and made her promise not to tell anyone else. The next year, the Atlanta journal constitution held a contest for the best thanksgiving sides. Guess which dressing won. Only now it was called Mary's famous cornbread dressing. There's a lesson to be learned in all of this, but it escapes me.Los Gatos, Ca (Bay Area, Northern California)
