Side Dish Recipes

Here's a great way to use up leftover mashed potatoes in a very dressy way. No one will complain about leftovers when this dish is set on the table. It works even better for serving leftovers to guests one or even two days later! :) Serve this as a side dish and it will dress up other leftover mains.

This is a great way to use up extra home made dressing. Cook pasta the day before. Then add your leftover dressing and marinate in the refrigerator overnight. The pasta will absorb all the goodness from the dressing and is perfect for a quick and easy lunch or supper.

New potatoes in a tangy cheesy butter caper sauce.

Outstanding, super creamy, cheesy and belly warming. We served it with toasted garlic croutons for some added texture. It was a bit like cheese fondue but not as rich.
