What’s in the Potato Stuffing Wreath?
Potatoes- In this recipe we want a crispy delicious potato. They’re technically twice baked, first of all to cook them, then when mashed in with the other ingredients. Think of this as a mash up between stuffing and a delicious giant roasted potato.
Cranberry Sauce- What is more festive than cranberry sauce? Use store bought or home made, either works.
Rosemary and thyme- The two perfect herbs this time of year are rosemary and thyme. Fresh or dried work for this recipe, but fresh herbs look fantastic to garnish.
Cooking tips for the Potato Wreath
Use a decorative tin- You can use a bundt tin to cook the wreath, just remember to grease the tin so the potato doesn’t stick to the inside.
Roast at a high hear for crispy coating- Depending on your oven, you may need to increase the temperature or the roasting time to get a delicious crispy coating.
Season well- The inside of the stuffing needs to taste delicious, so be sure to season well with salt, pepper and herbs. If you’re a garlic lover be sure to get a few extra cloves in.
