This is the recipe for our family's favorite mashed potatoes.
They are wonderfully rich and do not need a gravy to make them more tasty. Another wonderful thing about this recipe is that you can make it ahead of time and heat in the oven when you are ready to serve them.
We will have around 26 people at our house on Thanksgiving and I made 16 pounds of potatoes today - one job I won't have to do on Thursday!
This picture does not do them justice - this is before they are baked but trust me - once you try these potatoes, you will be hooked.
