It’s is getting close to that time of year when you start making preparations for those closing out the year recipes. You know the ones, right? Thanksgiving and Christmas are just around the corner and I know you’ve been wanting to add some new sides to those big dinner tables heavy laden with the classic dishes. But here’s to something new. For the last several years I swore a solemn vow. I vowed to try at least two new side dishes every Thanksgiving and Christmas. This year one of those new side dishes includes the Sweet Onion and Potato Medley Skillet.
This mix speaks deliciousness and goes wonderfully with those old mainstays we’re all sure to set upon countless holiday dinner tables from coast to coast.
Below, you will find what you’ll need to have on hand to pull this one together. Enjoy.

This sounds delish, and just what I am looking for, not only Thanksgiving, but beyond! I do have a question on how much end oven time you think it will need…1/2 hour or? (Trying to get my timing right of course) thanks so much!
