    Gloria's Mashed Potatoes and Easy Amish Wedding Gravy

    Published: Nov 24, 2015 · Updated: Nov 24, 2015 by Kevin Williams | 1 Comment

    By Kevin Williams

    Mashed potatoes and gravy are a staple on everyone's Thanksgiving table. I do love homemade mashed potatoes bathed in butter and sprinkled with salt.  Amish-made mashed potatoes (if made correctly) really capture the creamy consistency of this classic dish.  Gloria, our Amish Cook columnist, likes to serve them with browned butter.  Yum.  You can also use this great gravy recipe which is traditionally served at Amish weddings.

    With Thanksgiving being upon us I put Gloria's mashed potato recipe and the Amish wedding gravy "under one roof" in this post for easy referencing.  Enjoy!
