Thanksgiving in France

I never realized how much Thanksgiving means to me until it came and went without  having some of my mother’s famous mashed potatoes. So, when my friends proposed we have a thanksgiving of our own the weekend after I jumped on the chance to replicate the potatoes. Apparently three other people decided to make potatoes too but that didn’t stop me! Mine were clearly the best ;) Also, two French people were invited to celebrate this American holiday. They didn’t seem to like the idea of sweet potatoes with marshmallows but who can blame them! Their national cuisine is known for being savory, not sweet.
