virtual thanksgiving  mashed potatoes with caramelized onions and goat cheese

In preparation for next week's big feast, we're headed to a virtual Thanksgiving potluck, hosted by Food Network. We're bringing the mashed potatoes!

Mashed Potatoes with Caramelized Onions and Goat Cheese by Sonali, to be exact. This recipe won our contest for Your Best Mashed Potatoes and we still think they're some of the best around. With potatoes this ethereal and creamy, plus tangy goat cheese and sweet caramelized onions, who needs gravy?
