Mashed potatoes may be a homegrown dish, but good restaurant chefs can elevate them to a star-worthy experience. Most peel the potatoes in pursuit of the fluffiest, creamiest cloud of buttery. Mashed potatoes should be so good they don't even need a drizzle of gravy. That means they need to be light and fluffy, creamy and rich, and decadently buttery. For so many of us, Thanksgiving just isn't.
