The heroes of the holiday season aren't just Santa Claus or the iconic turkey. There's something else that deserves its very own holiday jingle — and I'm taking about mashed potatoes. Just think about it: Potatoes in general are the real MVPs of the dinner spread. The way they can be baked, boiled, and fried to complete and utter perfection makes them a triple threat, but the way potatoes really shine is when they're mashed. You could say many glorious things about this delicious dish, and there might even be a few creative mashed potato captions in there as well.
Looking at your Thanksgiving dinner table, of course you need the turkey in the center, but right next to it is always the mashed potatoes. They're like the trusty BFF to every single dish you're serving, and mashed potatoes' number one sidekick is gravy.
So before your family digs in, a foodie pic of your spread is #necessary. Create the most Instagram-worthy Thanksgiving dish imaginable, and post right away on the 'Gram with any of these 30 mashed potato-inspired captions. They'll basically be like the gravy on top, and will give your photo the extra kick of flavor it deserves to rake in all the likes.
