Another turkey day must have: mashed potatoes. While most recipes call for yellow or brown potatoes (they have a smoother texture for mashing) I like to use red potatoes. I just really like the flavor of these potatoes and their skins. I like mashed potatoes a little chunkier and with the skins mixed in. If you prefer it smoother add more milk and remove the skins. The garlic adds just enough flavor but does not over power the potatoes.
