For many American families, Thanksgiving dinner would not be complete without a big bowl of mashed potatoes on the table. Our recipe calls for russets, which have a light, fluffy texture and mellow flavor. For a delicious variation, try Yukon Golds, which boast a naturally rich, buttery taste. Or choose a local variety from your farmers’ market.
