For Thanksgiving, all of your traditional sides like fried turkey or traditionally baked turkey, green beans, corn casserole, sweet potato casserole, southern cornbread dressing, and fluffy dinner rolls. For just your average weeknight dinner, there is nothing better than mashed potatoes served alongside steak, chicken, and veggies. Personally, I always liked eating mashed potatoes when I am sick and nothing sounds good or if you have any dental work done. Creamy southern mashed potatoes will soothe any aches, pains, and woes you may have.
