A family tradition at the table on this day is to share what we’re thankful for and realize how blessed we are with everything we have. We’re already planning the menu, and mashed potatoes are one of the dishes everyone looks forward to on Thanksgiving.

Our favorite mashed potatoes are baked with a golden top to serve alongside stuffed turkey for Thanksgiving Day. I’m grateful to my mom who helped me prepare dinner with all her recipes and secrets.

Steps

1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease a large 4-quart baking dish. Peel the potatoes, cut them into chunks, and cook in a pot of salted water until tender, about 20 to 25 minutes.
2

Drain the potatoes in a colander, then return the potatoes to the pot over low heat. Mash with a potato masher, add the butter, cream cheese, heavy cream, salt, and pepper, and mix well.
3

Transfer the mashed potatoes to the baking dish, top with pieces of butter, and bake until golden brown, about 20 to 30 minutes.
