I eat mashed and sweet potatoes, mac and cheese and stuffing. Carb overload!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mashed-potatos-thanksgiving-must-have/page/2#post-1238026 Sat, 23 Nov 2013 10:00:29 +0000 Mae 1238026@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, it is a staple for us! We don't do mac and cheese ever though. That sounds tasty too! Given the choice between the two I'd probably choose mac and cheese but I think my family would revolt :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mashed-potatos-thanksgiving-must-have/page/2#post-1238025 Sat, 23 Nov 2013 09:59:38 +0000 .twist. 1238025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: oh wow!

Mine are fancy and I only make them over thanksgiving &amp; Xmas! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mashed-potatos-thanksgiving-must-have/page/2#post-1237946 Sat, 23 Nov 2013 08:52:32 +0000 NCSUchick27 1237946@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, we never have mashed potatoes. We do homemade mac and cheese instead.</p> <p>Growing up, my mom never made mashed potatoes for Thanksgiving because she never thought they were special enough. She made them a lot on weeknights for dinner.</p> <p>Our Thanksgiving dishes are usually things we only eat that time of year. I like it that way because it feels more special to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mashed-potatos-thanksgiving-must-have/page/2#post-1236837 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 15:13:15 +0000 MrsRcCar 1236837@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am a mash potato girl myself!!

Thanksgiving is a VERY carb heavy day for us! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mashed-potatos-thanksgiving-must-have#post-1236182 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 12:27:22 +0000 septca 1236182@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes!</p> <p>Usually it's just me, DH, and MIL for Thanksgiving and neither of them like mashed potatoes, so I usually suck it up and go without (I do all the cooking and feel like it's pointless to make another dish with only 3 people). This year, however, my mom is coming too - I am SO excited because this means mashed potatoes are ON! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mashed-potatos-thanksgiving-must-have#post-1236043 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 11:42:14 +0000 smocks 1236043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mashed potatoes are a non-negotiable staple for thanksgiving, imo. If I had to choose between that and the turkey, I'd take the potatoes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mashed-potatos-thanksgiving-must-have#post-1236035 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 11:39:28 +0000 lindseykaye 1236035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For me? No.I prefer au gratin potatoes at Thanksgiving.<br /> But for my husband? Absolutely. If I didn't make them he would be very, very sad.</p> <p>I say just make them. You can always enjoy leftovers. Eat them as they are, turn them into a shepherd's pie (or turkey version) topping, croquettes, or little breakfast potato patties fried in a skillet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mashed-potatos-thanksgiving-must-have#post-1236030 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 11:37:55 +0000 mrsjazz 1236030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: Nope. I mean if I had all of those options I might pig out and try them all just because it's Turkey Day. I'm just not used to having it...but I'd try some if it was an option. We always just do gravy over the turkey and stuffing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mashed-potatos-thanksgiving-must-have#post-1236004 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 11:27:53 +0000 MrsF 1236004@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We always have mashed potatoes.
