Mashed Potatoes are a Thanksgiving classic. Just use the right potato, like Yukon Gold and use your family recipe, or ask Google or DuckDuckGo or Siri. Just remember, never, ever, ever, ever, ever stir your mashed potatoes; that will create a disaster of gooey-gluey-mess that looks like it's the base for paper-mache middle-school project, and will cause your family in-laws to snicker about what an unseasoned cook you are. Damn it, don't stir!! Use a ricer, or food mill, or second to that, a masher to crush your potatoes. And use plenty of butter, and lie about how much is in there if asked. And don't overkill on milk or cream cuz you will ruin the proper airiness. There, that's it, that's all you need to know. Oh wait, one more thing... use white pepper, not black (just cuz it's nicer looking without the black flecks). Oh, and show off by adding something like roasted-garlic, or a touch of lemon-zest, or rosemary-oil, but use a light-hand so people are like "oh wow, what is that, you did something different". Got it? Good! You got this.
