It's the holiday season, and that means lots of mashed potatoes are going to made across the land. I love them. Give me a giant bowl of mashed potatoes with butter and salt and pepper and I'd be happy. I don't eat as much potatoes as I used to, along with white rice, pasta, and white bread. But the holidays are a different story.
AOL Food has a list of 11 different ways to make mashed potatoes. You can make them with sour cream, coconut milk, with cheese and corn (cowboy style), even mashed potato tacos! I also like them with garlic, though watch how much garlic you add. I've had mashed potatoes with way too much garlic and the result isn't tasty.

My favorite way to make mashed potatoes is to boil parsnips with the potatoes and then rice them together. Then add two heads of *very* roasted garlic (they are sweet!), some sour cream, melted butter, some warm milk, S&P to taste and *very* gently fold them all together.
The biggest mistake that most people make with mashed potatoes is working them too much which makes them gluey. Ick! After ricing the potatoes and parsnips, just fold in the other ingredients until combined.
It's fool proof and delicious! :)
