Many suspect that Thanksgiving is the worst time to be a vegetarian. Think again! Nevermind the turkey; Thanksgiving is the best, thanks to the table and/or countertop buffet full of sides. There are the rolls, the cranberry sauces, the Brussels sprouts or green beans—and then there are the potatoey side dishes, which should be approached with a choose-your-own-adventure-style zeal. Go roasted, go baked, go individually portioned, go casserole; go sweet or savory. But wherever you go, go. And make these:
