Mashed potatoes with butter! Great Thanksgiving side! Especially when you pour the gravy over it . . . Yummy!!!
Thanksgiving is always great because of the sides. These mashed potatoes are the best. I’ve always used butter and sour cream in my potatoes but will definitely add the cream cheese. Cream cheese always makes food better. The turkey will be the star of the dinner but these potatoes will be the be next best. Thank you for all your great recipes. They are amazing.
We always have sweet potatoes for Thanksgiving – as a side dish and as a desert in pie form . We’re not much on mashed potatoes and usually have them with certain meats like meatloaf and roast beef. None of us like turkey a lot so we usually only have that on Thanksgiving and occasionally, I will make legs, wings, or a breast (for sandwiches), if I get a taste for turkey. This year, though, I am thinking of shaking things up a bit and I want to try the Loaded Potatoes casserole. It sounds really delicious. Thanks for sharing. I can’t wait to taste it.
Thank you for all your amazing recipes ! This Thanksgiving I made your Funeral Potatoes, Green Bean Casserole, and sweet potato casserole ! All were amazing . We add a new recipe to our table every Thanksgiving .
I have used many of your Thanksgiving recipes & the sides are my favorite!! Especially your potatoes & rolls!
So many side dishes to choose from. I think I am going to have to make them all.
I love both the traditional side ideas along with other sides that look amazing.
I have made the roll recipe listed on the card. I had a hard time slicing the rolled dough into even triangles, but that was a “user” error and I’m sure just needs more practice on my end. The rolls themselves were fluffy and everyone loved them.
Hello
I found an easy solution for the roll to be cut, roll the dough in a round shape about 20 inch and cut in half, quarter, eight, and sixteen and you have a perfect 16 pieces to roll from the larger side, hope this will help
Thank you so much for sharing this amazing thanksgiving side dishes recipe! Will surely have this again! It’s really easy to make and it tasted so delicious! Highly recommended!
A great variety of side dishes and you cant go wrong with any of them!
Thanksgiving isn’t complete without the sides!! We make a ton & they are mostly from your site. We love all the potato dishes!
