Denver, CO (PRWEB) November 12, 2007 -- Thanksgiving is just around the corner, which means hosts and hostesses have started to search for the best recipes, read classic cookbooks and develop dinner menus. Even the most seasoned party planner can suffer stress trying to balance varying tastes and traditions. Folks may argue about dressing versus stuffing in their turkey recipe, or whether to serve green beans or peas, but almost everyone will expect some kind of mashed potato dish to grace the dinner table. Who better than America's potato farmers to offer advice on the very best mashed potato recipes? Here are recommendations from the United States Potato Board (USPB), representing 4,000 potato growers and shippers throughout the U.S., for hosts and hostesses of every personality persuasion.
Browned Butter Smashed Potatoes with Butternut Squash
The Traditionalist: Perfect Mashed Potatoes
There is no recipe more fitting for the honor of "best mashed recipe of all time" than the USPB's Perfect Mashed Potatoes. The essential trick here is to return the drained potatoes to the saucepan for a few minutes to dry them a bit over medium-low heat before mashing. Trust us, it makes a difference!
The Procrastinator: From-Scratch Mashed in About Ten Minutes
Forget the instant mashed potatoes. For a quick fix that's guaranteed to wow the crowds, try the USPB's new "Microwave Mashed Potatoes." If you're short on time (and who isn't?) but want from-scratch fresh mashed potatoes, try these. Watch a quick demonstration video at and get mashing!
The Health Nut: Browned Butter Smashed Potatoes with Butternut Squash
Want to serve a healthy recipe with two vegetables in one dish? Combine the vitamin C, potassium, and fiber of potatoes with the vitamin A of butternut squash and you have a nutritional winner. A little browned butter drizzled over the top adds the crowning holiday touch.
The Diplomat: Chipotle Mashed Potatoes
Celebrate the United Nations' declaration that 2008 is the "International Year of the Potato" by serving Chipotle Mashed Potatoes. These south-of-the-border flavors marry well with a chili-rubbed turkey and cornbread dressing.
The Hedonist: White Chocolate Mashed Potatoes
Send guests swooning by combining perennial favorites: potatoes and chocolate. Yes, that's right, chocolate. A little bit of white chocolate here substitutes for the butter. Its sweetness is tempered by a dash of Tabasco sauce, but the creaminess chocolate imparts is unmistakable.
