Mashed Potatoes and gravy...yum!

Have you ever had a Thanksgiving without mashed potatoes? I haven't, but I know that if I had, it would be a sad meal. My favorite food at Thanksgiving is by far, mashed potatoes and gravy. They just complete the meal. Many people agree because the amazing amount of potatoes we make. According to Linkedin.com, "We produce 15 million pounds of Mashed Potatoes each year, which takes 400,000 gallons of milk and 11.4 million pounds of potatoes." Now that is A LOT of potatoes. That means that potatoes are very popular. Of course, I wouldn't like potatoes as much without the wonderful gravy! I love making swimming pools with cliffs, bridges and diving boards with my potatoes and my gravy. It makes me feel not like a teen, but a little kid again. That's at least one great reason to have potatoes and gravy on your table. Obviously, potatoes are the best and you should not leave them out this Thanksgiving.
