Classic mashed potatoes come down to potato choice, careful boiling, warm dairy, and gentle mashing, so the final dish is creamy, buttery, and fluffy rather than gluey. Serve them with [classic turkey gravy](/classic-turkey-gravy/), [roasted chicken with pan sauce](/roasted-chicken-with-pan-sauce/), or [green bean casserole from scratch](/green-bean-casserole-from-scratch/).
