An Ode to Mashed Potatoes (click the title to read the blog!)
As the rest of the internet debates over how to make the juiciest turkey or the tastiest stuffing, I want to pay tribute to the one item on your Thanksgiving plate that should never be overlooked: mashed potatoes.

As you prepare your Thanksgiving this year (or any day you crave mashed potatoes), here are my top 6 tips to ensure fantastic mashed potatoes every time plus some of my favorite mashed potato recipes including Classic, Buttermilk, Twice Baked, and Yam Marbled.
