It Could Happen To You: Thanksgiving Cooking Fails To Avoid

Mashed Potato Paste

Mashed potatoes are a comfort food that most people look forward to every Thanksgiving, so when you mess it up you are going to have a crowd of angry relatives grumbling at the table. Mashed potatoes that are too thick or feel like sticky glue are hardly edible. Resist the urge to fling a spoonful at your sister and just smother them in butter and gravy.
