When Garth Brooks came to Minnesota back in May 2019, I was lucky enough to get to talk to him during a press conference. Turns out we are both huge fans of his wife, and got to chit chatting about her cooking. I wanted to know what his favorite food was that she made, and of all things Garth loves her mashed potatoes.

It's the simplest thing on the planet, but she doesn't overthink it, she just does it. The girls, we invite them over for dinner, I know what the first thing is they're going to ask, 'will there be mashed potatoes?'

Trisha Yearwood hosts Trisha's Southern Kitchen on Food Network, and has a host of amazing Thanksgiving recipes. Here they are so you can have the same Thanksgiving as Garth and Trisha.
