Hey Vincenzo! Are you going to collab with Harper and Eva in the future?

[@sharendonnelly7770]

Eva, "we don't want to waste any food!" was a lesson I learned from my mother, who lived through the Great Depression.... and... of German ancestry taught me to make potato kugel! Mashed potatoes, cheese, eggs, milk, and if you had it... ham! Amazing how different culture have such similar foods! Happy Thanksgiving, Eva and Harper!

What a great dish! I’m going to make it after Thanksgiving with the leftover mashed potatoes, and the rest of the leftovers. Putting stuffing, turkey and corn in the middle like a mini Thanksgiving dinner in every bite! Now I have something different to do with all the leftovers, and cranberry sauce can be the garnish on top. Thank you!

[@iafozzac]

Don't put too much stuff in it, if you want to use leftovers I recommend using just the turkey and adding some cheese, if you have some gravy you can pour it on top once it's on the plate

[@b1k2q34]

No corn.

I never knew anyone else who made it and have never seen it on a menu. I feel I've travelled back to my childhood, 50 something years ago. I should have written down her recipes. Interesting how Eva's Calabrese recipes are similar to la mia nonna's. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Mario, Melbourne, Australia.
