RealPlans-RECIPES-Mashed-Potatoes

Equal parts potato to butter and cream, classic mashed potatoes are almost as essential to the Thanksgiving table as turkey.

For a fluffier mash, choose mealy russet potatoes and rinse twice – once before boiling and once afterwards. If you like your potatoes ultra creamy, go with a waxier variety like Yukon Gold.

And because the perfect bite is a balance between sweet, tangy and savory – your mashed potatoes won’t feel quite complete without puddles of Classic Gravy and generous swirl of Simple Cranberry Sauce .
