reheat

The Agriculture Department provides a handy how-to for dealing with leftover food, advising consumers on wrapping, reheating and thawing, and handling what the agency calls “leftover ‘leftovers.’”

But if you are in the camp of wanting to make your stuffing fully from scratch, this is a dish that’s super easy to prep or make-ahead of time and simply reheat pre-dinner.

It reheats easily, tastes incredible, and makes a hell of a holiday centerpiece without the 16-plus hours of smoking time.

Fried potatoes reheat better than mashed, and latkes are an ideal vehicle to pile turkey, gravy and cranberry sauce on.

They freeze beautifully, reheat like a charm, and make the kind of cozy, quietly impressive breakfast you’ll be grateful for when guests are still half-asleep and coffee hasn’t yet kicked in.
