There's a very American reason mashed potatoes almost always land at the top of the favorite side dish list.
They're smooth, rich, and still perfectly fluffy.
They smell like butter, and they're basically the ultimate blank canvas for any kind of topping.
Straight up, mashed potatoes are the meal's rescue plan.
If something on the plate is a little too dry, mashed potatoes fix it.
Whether you're nine months old or 99, it's hard to hate a spoonful of hot, silky mashed potatoes.
But you'll love them even more when you don't have to make them yourself.
No peeling, no boiling, no scrubbing pots, no kitchen cleanup.
Your job is just heat and eat.
Easy like pressing an elevator button.
