sounds yummy! i look forward to the hot potato salad recipe. have you ever made your own turkey sausage? I made some breakfast ones yesterday and they were pretty good!

these were just patties. they worked pretty well. i find anytime im using sausage most of the time i take the casing off. and on one blog they had a recipe for homemade italian turkey sausage so i will eventually try that. once i find some ground turkey on sale…or hit another good sale on turkey/chicken breast and grind my own.

and i was going to ask for Di’s recipe too!

Used the following recipe, but used whole wheat flour with just a bit of regular. SOOOO good!
Also interesting to know that this dough can double as a doughnut recipe….

1 c sugar (Hallee – I know you use honey, so I’m not quite sure what the ratios are on that)
1 c mashed potatoes (leftover would probably be best, but one med. potato is about a cup)
1/2 c lard or shortening (used part unsalted butter and part canola oil)
3 eggs, beaten
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 -2 packs yeast (I buy the jars of yeast so I used 1 Tbsp)
1 c warm water
approx. 5 c flour

Add yeast to warm water. Mix the first 5 ingredients together in a large bowl (used my kitchen aid with the paddle attachment). Add the yeast/water to the mixture and 3 c. of the flour and mix (used dough hook for this) adding flour until the mixture comes away from the sides of the pan. Dough should still be slightly sticky. Let rise covered in an oiled bowl for about an hour (double size). Roll out to 3/4″ thick and cut w/2″ cookie/biscuit cutter. Let rest for about 30 mins. covered on sheet pans – make sure buns are not touching each other. Bake 375 for 8-10 mins. Makes about 24 buns.

Your Wednesday and Friday breakfasts are two of my favorites! I tried the Oatmeal Blender Waffles last week at your recommendation. They were really good. In fact, they were probably the best waffles I’ve made so far! I love egg-in-a-hole, especially on a weekday morning, because they feel so special but are so easy to make!

Thanks!
