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!

After cruising down Route 66 last week we decided to make a pit stop for lunch at this one of a kind spot located on Kingsley Air Field: 🛩️ Hangar Kafe. 
We watched planes take off, pet the friendly local pups, checked out the vintage cars on display, and then went inside the cozy themed restaurant and  enjoyed a tasty home-cooked diner style meal. Highly recommend checking them out! 
Bonus: skydiving and hot air balloon rides are offered next door!
