Garlic mashed potatoes and gravy are such a comfort food! After reading The Long Winter with Miss Sarah, and realizing that sometimes a potato was all they had to eat, it makes us truley thankful for the Thanksgiving bounty that we get to receive. You can easily tell the difference between real mashed potatoes and the Instant variety that comes from a box. Real potatoes taste so incredibly amazing that the powdered variety is a mere shadow of flavor and texture. It is hard to explain the difference, but you really should try for yourself!

We have made this for year, and it makes for plenty of leftovers – it’s also another dish that you can make a few days ahead of the big celebration.
