You’ve heard it before. Spokeo is committed to helping people reconnect – especially families! Whether you haven’t seen your family in months or you talk to your mom twice a day, this week is all about families coming together and being thankful.
If you’re headed to a family member’s house on Thursday and need to bring something with you, there’s nothing better you can do to go the extra mile than offer to bring a dish like mashed potatoes! For newly acquainted families or families who’ve celebrated together for generations, mashed potatoes are a staple to any holiday meal and are a foolproof way to make family members happy and keep you connected for years to come.
Following is the mashed potato recipe we used for our Adopt-a-Meal night with Union Station Homeless Services. We started with the ingredients from Alton Brown’s “Creamy Garlic Mashed Potatoes” recipe and made slight alterations to accommodate a group of sixty people. Even after sitting plated for a while, they stayed warm and creamy! We’ve tested it, tried it and can guarantee its yumminess.
