You’ve heard of twice baked potatoes??? Well… this recipe is twice baked red mashed potatoes and it’s just perfect for a spin off the regular ole’ turkey day mashed potatoes. We had a “mock” Thanksgiving dinner last weekend. Many of you may already know we’re a step-family so this year we won’t have our kids on Thanksgiving 🙁 We try to celebrate with them somehow, sometimes we just have to do another meal early! My friend, Kate, told me how she makes these mashed potatoes, we gave them a try… They were a HIT!! If you feel like trying something new for Thanksgiving… you won’t be disappointed! (they’d be great any other time too)
