Hey Amy!

Here’s one for the kids coming to the Thanksgiving day meal.  I realize many of you are groaning that I am suggesting a separate menu for the kids.  Not entirely, just a handful of fun dishes that will make them feel special.  And this is so easy, it’s a great way to engage some young people in the kitchen to help!

Ingredients:

1 1/2 lbs. potatoes
1/2 c. milk, hot
1/3 c. grated cheddar cheese
3 Tbsp. melted butter
1 egg, beaten
bread crumbs

Preheat oven to 450.  Boil potatoes until soft and mash until very smooth.  Add milk, cheese, and butter and beat until fluffy.  Form inot little balls and roll in beaten egg and then bread crumbs.  Arrange on a greased baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes.

If you have another casserole in the oven at 350 or 375, pop these in along side and bake a bit longer until they are golden brown.  The children will feel very special to have a dish at their table that is not at the adult table.
