Our Best Mashed Potato Recipes Will Smash Your Expectations
Laced with béchamel, topped with noodles, and more ways to love mashed potatoes
In all of their starchy glory, potatoes are arguably one of the most versatile vegetables. You can roast them or bake them or fry them, but it's still hard to beat mashed potatoes. They're creamy and pillowy and delicious, especially as a fall or winter side dish. In the fall, sweet potatoes are a particularly good side dish, whether in a casserole or smashed with maple butter. Are you over traditional mashed potatoes? Try mashing your potatoes with avocado instead of butter. With recipes like mashed potato dumplings, mashed potatoes in a salad, and even fluffy brownies with mashed potatoes in the batter, our best mashed potato recipes prove the possibilities are endless for this creamy comfort food.
