Turkey sandwiches! One of America's great contributions to world cuisine...
I had homemade bread that I'd made for the dressing... I had arugula... I had mayonnaise... and white meat from the Thanksgiving turkey.
Perfect.
But one must have potato chips! And I had no interest in a trip to the store. So...
Mashed potato croquettes!!!
I sautéed a bit of scallion, added it to mashed potatoes, tossed in some chives, a bit of flour, a teaspoon of baking powder, an egg, some Parmesan, salt and pepper... Then I rolled balls of the mixture in flour, then egg, then fresh breadcrumbs (made from some day-old baguette), and fried them in EVOO until puffed and golden brown...
They were served alongside these perfect sandwiches with a dollop of chive sour cream...
Who needs potato chips?!?!?
