Grandma’s Mashed Potatoes

Silky, rich, and deeply satisfying—this is love, served warm. With just 4 humble ingredients (plus a couple of Grandma’s secrets), it’s the kind of side that feels like a hug. The milk-steeping method infuses every bite with velvety richness; the floury potatoes fluff like snow; the butter melts into golden pools on top. And best of all? It’s naturally make-ahead—so you’re free to carve the turkey, pour the cider, or just hold a hand while it finishes.


✨ Best of all? It reheats like new—and tastes even better the next day.

“Simmer, mash, and serve grace.”
