 I want to cook my potatoes ahead for Thanksgiving.  If I make them with sour cream and cream cheese will they freeze and then defrost properly?

1 Home Chef » Dried Chestnuts...

New to this site. Not quite sure how it works.

A bit about me, I am a pretty good home cook with some professional experience and training.

The question is use of dried chestnuts. DH brought me a bag of them. I boiled some in salted water drained and used in stuffing a chix. last night. Pretty good. Any ideas on how they should be used? This is a new ingredient to me.

Thanks
