Fresh Mashed Potatoes and What’s Your Favorite Thanksgiving Side Dish?

Yesterday I promised today I’d ask: what’s your favorite Thanksgiving side dish? You bet I’d like to hear. But having asked, it’s only fair I lay down my cards first.

My favorite side dish is fresh mashed potatoes because they’re fantastically flavorful and comforting all on their own and do a great job blending with every other flavor on the Thanksgiving plate. As if that’s not enough, they’re also incredibly easy to make as shown in the step-by-step picture book recipe you can get here by clicking the picture above. (One quick tip: I love having ’em with skins still on both for flavor and added nutrition. Great!) The same recipe is also available in either of the complete Thanksgiving Dinner step-by-step video and picture ebooks you can check out by clicking the picture below.
