Despite its utter simplicity, I’d forgotten how to make the potato stuffing that was featured in the Thanksgivings of my childhood, so I emailed my more orderly brother for help. He kindly replied with the recipe our mother long ago recorded as “Haley Potato Stuffing.”
The very name was evocative. The recipe is a legacy of my mother’s grandfather, John Haley, an adored and doting avuncular presence in her childhood, whom she always addressed as “Bompoo.”
