Thank you for the deluxe potato recipe! I am not going to attempt the turkey recipe but I wonder how long you would need to boil the turkey for, just curious.

It’s not a lot of liquid to boil a turkey in is it? I think the turkey would have been put on top of some root veg in a lidded pot in the oven and streamed with the liquid. My mother does this but only uses half the liquid. Otherwise it’s half boiled and half steamed 🧐🦃

I am certainly going to try the turkey but maybe substitute it for a chicken for other occasions .

My Grandmother always did her baked potatoes like this , maybe not always with cheese and bacon but always with butter . My mother always did the same . My Grandmother was from Waterford. I really enjoyed your story too . 🙏
