I like mashed potatoes..... especially homemade....

Classic American dish. They go with almost anything.

Mashed potatoes + gravy = happiness!

I love mashed potatoes and consider it a must have at Thanksgiving. I am not as crazy about instant mashed potatoes but I will even eat those. In fact I wouldn't mind having mashed potatoes at almost every meal.

I make them whipped, in a food processor, with butter, milk, a little sour cream and cheese and a tablespoon of chopped onion. My kids are addicted to them.

I love homemade mashed potatoes. I love it plain, and I love it with other herbs and spices in it-this does include cheese right?

yum

hate them unless with gravy

Even better in its garlic, cheddar, or gravied incarnations.

I give a 2

OMG Chessey mashed potatoes and spam mmmm

oh heck yes. mashed taters rockk.

Love homestyle (from scratch) mashed potatoes, hate the box kind!

Mashed potatoes are absolutely necessary with Thanksgiving dinner, although they aren't necessarily the best part, for me they still rank below turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, and pumpkin pie.

While I don't enjoy mashing potatoes for a large group of people, I find that I'm usually better off if I volunteer to mash the potatoes. Most people use too much milk, and don't mash them enough, resulting in mashed potatoes that are both soupy and lumpy at the same time.  I want my mashed potatoes to have a uniform consistancy, and they have to be able to hold their shape.

Simple but good.Real,honest to goodness mashed potato- NOT the stuff from the box,please!

I can remember a time when they made me gag, but, I learned to like them over the years. Where I use to only eat the instant, now I actually love the real deal.

Probably my favorite part, especially if I have a buttered roll to dip in them...hmmmm, now I'm hungry

Definitely my favorite part of the meal.

although I like turkey, it is the side dishes i look the most forward too. desert too. mashed potatoes is one i like a lot.they go with just about any meat dish. served with the gravy it makes a good addition to Thanksgiving dinner.

When I'm saying Thanksgiving grace, I have to consciously remember to be thankful for family before thanking the lord for the delicious, homemade bowl of mashed potatoes sitting in front of me.

Pass the gravy, please!

Mmm. Taters. I have said before that mashed potatoes are one of the greatest food ever. I will be taking down a few helpings on turkey day.

Of course, the noble spud must be there. What is a feast without potatoes?

ONLY if mashed with about 33% turnips the way Mama used to do.

I didn't care much for mashed potatoes, or any potatoes at all as a little kid, but I don't mind them so much now. Mashed potatoes can be quite good if made properly, but that depends on which family member is making them on Thanksgiving.

I love mashed potatoes, but they can fill me up too soon. Whenever i go to Old Country Buffet, i try not to eat too much. Otherwise, i cannot make room for anything else. I usually eat them with lots of margarine.

With gravy and bacon bits.

An awesome food there is nothing to it. Its fast and good eatin there is nothing like it.

Gotta have the mashed potatoes. It's almost Thanksgiving law that there must be a big, heaping pile of mashed potatoes right next to your turkey on your plate.

The main focus of the entire meal! I prefer real potatoes. Seriously folks, I could actually live on mashed potatoes alone.

Real mashed potatoes please! With butter and garlic and chives and real bacon bits ummmmmmmm

Can you say delicious?

My ultimate favorite. I usually eat about half a plate of these, carbs be damned. Smothered in hot gravy and so creamy I savor every bite. . .
