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

Does anyone know if it will come out tasting as well?

I posted a question on the recipe itself but could anyone tell me if you can do all the prep work to a twice baked potato casserole but not bake it until the next day and still have it taste good? Any help is appreciated!
