Cream Cheese Mashed Potatoes and Bordeaux Wine
Here is the third recipe to our Thanksgiving Dinner Pack.
All great Thanksgiving meals should include mashed potatoes! This is another popular recipe for some beautiful, smooth, nice textured mashed potatoes to compliment that juicy turkey. When you finish the first glass of wine, pour a second to try with these potatoes. They pair nicely with a Merlot or our Bordheauxd (pronounced Board Head) Red. The best part: they are very easy to make!
