    Ultimate Thanksgiving Dinner Menu

    We are already almost at the end of the year 2022. Thanksgiving and Christmas are around the corner. One of the best seasons to spend time with family and friends, go shopping, watch football, and eat the best food.

    I just can't forget how I always wait to eat some of the traditional and popular Thanksgiving delicacies. From perfectly roasted browned turkey, green beans casserole or cheesy potato casserole, roasted carrots, spaghetti squash or butternut squash pasta, and roasted sweet potatoes, to some amazing desserts like pumpkin pie, apple pie, and persimmon pudding or cranberry tart with my family and friends.

    Happy Thanksgiving 2022 to all my lovely readers. I really appreciate the love and support you guys have been giving me in my blogging journey and making it a successful one.

    The ultimate or traditional classic Thanksgiving dinner menu consists of dinner rolls, one salad recipe, mashed potato or sweet potato casserole, cranberry sauce, corn casserole, and pumpkin pie, along with roasted Turkey.

    I have made different sections below that include recipes for bread, bun, rolls, side dishes, salad, main course, entree, and desserts, followed by a few special holiday drink recipes.

    Hasselback Potatoes Recipe

    • 2 tablespoon  Butter, melted
    • 2 tablespoon Coconut oil or Olive oil
    • 2 tablespoon Cilantro or Parsley, finely chopped
    • 1 teaspoon  Garlic powder
    • ½ teaspoon Salt (adjust to taste)
    • 24 Baby Potatoes (or 6 to 8 large potatoes)
    • 2 tablespoon Butter, melted
    • ¾ teaspoon  Salt (adjust to taste)

    Instructions
     

    • Nicely wash, drain and pat dry the potatoes. 
    • Cut one small portion of potato on one side to create a flat base. Place the flat surface at the bottom. Use the chopstick as a guide on two sides and cut straight down till it touches the chopstick into thin or thick slices, the way you prefer.
    • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line your baking pan with parchment paper and keep it aside. 
    • Arrange the cut potatoes in a single layer in the baking pan. Brush each potato with melted butter and sprinkle some salt. 
    • Bake for a total of 30 to 40 minutes, depending on the size of the potatoes. 
    • Add melted butter, oil, cilantro, garlic powder, salt, and mix in a pan. 
    • Halfway through the baking process (around the 15-minute mark), brush each potato with this garlic herbed butter oil and continue baking for another 15 to 20 minutes or until the edges are crispy and inside is cooked and creamy. 
    • Once it comes out of the oven, brush again with remaining garlic herbed butter oil, serve and enjoy.
