The 10 Thanksgiving Recipes Our Readers Love Most

The best crispy roast potatoes ever in a bowl on a blue background. — Serious Eats / Vicky Wasik

Thanksgiving is breathing down our (turkey) necks, and many of us have already started planning our menus. Almost everyone has their Thanksgiving must-haves—in my family, it was always Creole-style rice dressing and sweet potatoes with marshmallows on top. As much as I love the classics, one of the great things about having attended many Friendsgiving dinners is the new dishes I've been introduced to over the years.

So, if you're looking to add a new dish or two to your Thanksgiving menu, why not start with some of the holiday recipes that have been saved the most with MyRecipes, our free tool for saving and organizing recipes? I'm eying the two-ingredient biscuits myself.

Savory Caesar Dip

Serious Eats / Two Bites

As long as you have a good dip or two and some chips set out, nobody will care how late Thanksgiving dinner is. This Caesar dip pairs the assertive garlicky anchovy flavor of Caesar dressing with the texture of a cream cheese-based dip.

If you prefer a hot dip—or if you want to have one cold and one hot dip—here's a classic for you. This recipe nails the ideal proportion of spinach to artichokes, and a trifecta of cream cheese, mayo, and sour cream gives the dip its ultra-creamy texture.

The Best Apple Crisp
