01of 28Carrot CasserolePhotographer: Jen Causey, Food Stylist: Rishon Hanners, Prop Stylist: Julia BaylessView RecipeCarrot casserole is a great holiday side dish that’s both creamy and savory with just a touch of sweetness from the carrots. Coriander and dry mustard add lovely background flavors to the cream sauce. Microwaving the carrots gives them a jump-start in the cooking process and ensures that they’re cooked through. The carrots should all be sliced thinly so they cook evenly. If you have one, a mandoline can make quick work of the slicing, but a good sharp knife will also do the trick.

03of 28Creamy Squash Casserole RecipePhotographer: Stacy K. Allen, Food Stylist: Ana Kelley, Prop Stylist: Julia BaylessView RecipeThis squash casserole recipe features sharp Cheddar cheese, yellow squash and a buttery, crispy cracker topping. It is key to cook down the squash in the skillet first, then drain and pat it dry as best you can so the casserole doesn’t become too watery. Yellow squash lends a pretty yellow hue, but bright green zucchini works well too.

05of 28Potato & Leek GratinView RecipeA mandoline will slice the potatoes quickly and to the exact same thickness, though a sharp knife will also work. Instead of burying the potatoes and leeks in cream, a drizzle of milk is added to every layer of the gratin; the potatoes get wonderfully crisp and tender, and the cheeses form a melty, golden crust. The result is a rich, rustic potato side with contrasting flavors and textures—a bit of crunch to round out the stuffing, sauces, and mashes on the plate. Reheat leftovers in the oven until crisped and warmed through, and then serve with eggs and a side of fruit for breakfast.
