*This is my Aunt Lisa's contribution to our big family Christmas-I think she'd like to bring something else...but these are a fan favorite!

*I usually make my own from-scratch potatoes and add in the other ingredients, but this year for thanksgiving? Fake all the way.  And guess what? no one cared!

*I always use butter.  I may be ok with fake potatoes... not fake butter.

*I like mine with cheese on top.  Ryan likes his with gravy. The house divided!
