A Guide to Holiday Side Dishes

i'll bring the potatoes

Mashed potatoes are a must-have on our Thanksgiving table … where else will all that delicious gravy go? We also love to include flavorful, healthy sweet potatoes in the menu for color and variety. Here are some of our favorite tips and recipes using potatoes.

• Add a few tablespoons of Roasted Garlic Onion Jam to mashed potatoes for a favorite of ours.
• For fluffy mashed potatoes that can be made ahead of time, add one cup of sour cream and one package of cream cheese for every five pounds of potatoes you're whipping. These can be heated in an oven for 35-40 minutes before serving or in the microwave.
• Always use warm milk to whip potatoes after they are tender. Be careful not to overcook the potatoes; too much cooking and they become mushy. Drier potatoes are much lighter when mashed.
• Ground white pepper is a great choice in mashed potatoes. It adds a distinctive flavor and there are no black bits in the finished dish. Salt to taste.
• Although there probably won't be many leftovers, mashed potatoes make a fantastic top layer on turkey and vegetable pies. Dollop with butter and generous amounts of salt and pepper.
• One of our favorites … sweet potatoes are a healthy addition or alternative. Whip them, roast with salt and pepper and a little olive oil, or serve them in a casserole mixed with fresh cranberries. They make a colorful and flavorful contribution to your menu.
