Special occasion

I made these a day ahead of time for a belated thanksgiving and they reheated very nicely multiple times (leftover dinners later). Classic and buttery - I like the smoothness of the Yukon golds. I have a potato ricer so that may have helped, but I’ll definitely use this as a classic mashed potato recipe in the futures
