For the Love of Food

When I think of boxtys, which are breaded and fried mashed potato balls, I think of fun, messy but good, party food. These boxtys are inspired by one of my favorite Southern recipes: the Kentucky Hot Brown sandwich. I start with my homemade Parmesan garlic mashed potatoes and add roasted turkey breast and bacon. Serve these hot and crisp boxtys with a side of white cheddar sauce garnished with chives and tomato.

Try using your leftover Thanksgiving turkey and mashed potatoes for this recipe. Gravy or cranberry sauce would also be a delicious dipping sauce!
