Thanksgiving Side Dishes
Thanksgiving side dishes turn a good holiday dinner into an unforgettable one. Roast turkey may be the centerpiece, but family-favorite sides make the feast feel complete.
Classic Side Dishes
Classics usually include mashed potatoes, stuffing or dressing, sweet potatoes, green beans and/or brussels sprouts, cranberry sauce, and a basket of warm rolls or biscuits, but there’s plenty of room on the table for something unexpected.
Balanced Spread Guide
Use this guide to build a balanced spread, with a mix of rich and comforting, fresh and green, and bright and tangy dishes. Start with stalwarts like our ultra-creamy BA’s Best Mashed Potatoes and Easiest Cranberry Sauce, then round things out with newer favorites like sweet-and-spicy mixed squash, zingy green bean salad, or Old Bay cheddar biscuits .
BA’s Best Mashed Potatoes
This is one of our favorite Thanksgiving recipes for good reason. Yukon Golds, heavy cream, garlic, rosemary, and plenty of butter make for an exceptionally silky mash.
Classic Potatoes au Gratin
This classic Thanksgiving side dish is all about the details: Starchy russet potatoes turn tender in gently simmered cream, while plenty of Gruyère melts into a bubbling, golden top. Keep an eye on the broiler for the perfect finish.
Make-Ahead Mashed Potatoes
Prepare these supremely velvety mashed potatoes up to two days ahead, then reheat when the Thanksgiving countdown gets real.
