Welcome to Sunday Reset, where we share how we’re unwinding and what we have planned for the week ahead. This time, our editor Julia is thinking about sides.

If you could only put three Thanksgiving sides on your plate, what would they be? I genuinely can’t commit. Every year I pile on five or six because let’s be honest: the sides are the best part. (Respectfully, turkey is just the supporting cast.)

According to Campbell’s State of the Side’s report, America agrees. The top picks are:

Stuffing
Mashed potatoes
Sweet potatoes
Mac and cheese
Green bean casserole

So, here’s what I’m making—and what I think deserves a permanent spot in your recipe folder: First and foremost, I’m making this sourdough and sausage stuffing again (I first tried it in the Test Kitchen and made it twice for guests—it’s that good).

Now for the rest:

Scalloped Potatoes With Caramelized Onions

Buttermilk & Leek Mashed Potatoes

Baked Sweet Potatoes With Maple Crème Fraîche

Martha Stewart's Macaroni & Cheese

Homemade Green Bean Casserole
