Rachael Ray’s Garlicky Mashed Potatoes Will Be the Superstar of Your Thanksgiving Table
Rachael Ray has a love for all things garlic. She also loves potatoes. Marrying the two into a showstopping Thanksgiving side called Rachael Ray’s Garlicky Mashed Potatoes seemed only natural for the Food Network star. Ray loves garlic so much she has claimed many times on her talk show that it is all she smells like. Ray has said that she would have never married a man that didn’t love it as much as she did. Thank goodness her husband of 16 years, John Cusimano, is also a fan. Therefore, he is likely also a fan of these garlicky mashed potatoes, which will be the superstar of your Thanksgiving table.
Rachael Ray loves to get creative with Thanksgiving sides
Ray loves to find new twists in her favorite recipes. She has come up with many different ways to flavor mashed potatoes, which have become new family favorites.
In a story published by The Rachael Ray Show, Ray shared five different ways this fluffy side can be the star of the show during your Thanksgiving family gathering.
One of her favorite ways to make potatoes is to use Ranch seasoning. These packets can be found in the grocery store and pack a flavor punch when adding delicious variety to this family-favorite side.
Another way to serve up potatoes is to prepare them like a casserole. They are ready the same way as they would be if they were being served out of a dish. However, in this way, they are spread in a greased pan and topped with a mixture of shredded cheddar and panko breadcrumbs for a crunchy topping.

The ingredients include 6 to 8 large potatoes, peeled and cut into same-size pieces.
Then, crush garlic cloves (Rachael uses six, but you can increase or decrease this amount according to your taste).
Following, add salt, milk, butter, black pepper, and nutmeg.
