You’ve heard of twice baked potatoes??? Well… this recipe is twice baked red mashed potatoes and it’s just perfect for a spin off the regular ole’ turkey day mashed potatoes. We had a “mock” Thanksgiving dinner last weekend. Many of you may already know we’re a step-family so this year we won’t have our kids on Thanksgiving 
We try to celebrate with them somehow, sometimes we just have to do another meal early! My friend, Kate, told me how she makes these mashed potatoes, we gave them a try… They were a HIT!! If you feel like trying something new for Thanksgiving… you won’t be disappointed! (they’d be great any other time too)
