Who doesn’t love mashed potatoes? I haven’t met a person who did not. They go great with various main dishes and they can be prepared a variety of ways. At the Garden Grill in Epcot’s The Land, they include caramelized onions. You have the choice to peel the skins off of the potatoes or not. This went perfect with the Mom’s Meat Loaf.
