I am excited! Godt.no, Norway’s biggest food website, featured my Bread Bowl Hamburger Stew in its article on bread bowl recipes this past week. It was a nice surprise when they asked me for permission to publish the photo. I won’t lie; it totally made my week when I saw my work on their site! Please feel free to check it out here, but be prepared to use a translator tool to read it, as everything is entirely in Norwegian.
Now onto the recipe!!
First, I am curious to know which camp you are in. Do you think this mashed potato recipe is crazy, or is it rather brilliant? Please say the option B!! All I know it tastes really good and is a perfect side dish for the Thanksgiving feast. It combines two of the dinner’s must-haves, mashed potatoes and cranberry sauce, into one dish. The cranberries impart a slight sweetness, a hint of tartness, and a nice soft crunch to the potatoes. It’s such a refreshing take on the dish. And look…so pretty!!! How could you not want to try it?
If you need cranberries with your turkey, then you are going to need this mashed potato. Imagine the flavor blast when you have a mouthful of it along with some turkey. You see what I’m talking about? Don’t deprive yourself, your family, or your cranberry-loving guests of this experience—make some this year for the feast. Who knows? It may very well become a new Thanksgiving tradition for you. And look…so pretty!!

Ingredients
Instructions
- Peel and dice potatoes. Place in a large saucepan and cover potatoes with water. Cover the pan loosely and bring water to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium and boil for about 15 minutes or until potatoes are fork-tender.
- While potatoes boil, bring 3 cups of water to a boil in a medium pan. Add cranberries, reduce heat, and simmer for about 2 minutes. Remove cranberries using a slotted spoon. Place on paper towels and pat dry. Set aside.
- Drain the potatoes when tender. Place them back in the pan. Add butter, milk, salt, and pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy using a potato masher or an electric mixer. If the mixture is too thick, add a little more milk. Adjust salt and pepper to taste. Gently fold in 3/4 of the cranberries.
- Just before serving, sprinkle the remaining cranberries over potatoes and garnish with parsley (optional).
- Makes 10 servings.
