With classic roast chicken or turkey
Alongside meatloaf or pot roast
Topped with gravy, butter, or chives
As leftovers—fried up into crispy mashed potato cakes (another Grandma special!)
📝 A Tip from Grandma: Don’t Overmix
Overworking the potatoes makes them gluey—not fluffy. Grandma knew this without a YouTube tutorial. Just mash until smooth and stop. Trust her.
🧡 Final Thoughts
Grandma’s mashed potatoes are more than a recipe—they’re a tradition. They bring people together, spark stories around the table, and remind us that sometimes, the simplest dishes are the ones that mean the most.
So next time you’re making mashed potatoes, skip the shortcuts and channel your inner Grandma. Take your time. Taste as you go. Serve with pride.
And don’t forget the extra butter. She wouldn’t have it any other way.
