Hey and happy hump day.

You say potato, I say poh-tat-oh, let's not call the whole thing off. Mashed potatoes aren't mandatory for Thanksgiving, but a potato dish is.

Potatoes are arguably everyone's favorite Thanksgiving side. They're the perfect companion to turkey and gravy, and no matter how you prepare them (mashed, baked up in a creamy gratin with a blanket of golden brown cheese, or as a Southern-style casserole), they're irresistible.

There's no question our Thanksgiving plate would be amiss if potatoes were not present.

So here are 6 potato recipes that deserve a spot on your Thanksgiving table:

• ​This creamy mashed potatoes recipe includes the foolproof tips I swear by for how to make mashed potatoes that are irresistibly fluffy, buttery, rich, and creamy every time.
• Creamy and irresistibly cheesy, this recipe is a classic holiday staple that always impresses.
• ​This sweet potato casserole is the bomb.com. It's creamy and the perfect blend of savory and sweet thanks to an addictively crunchy topping.
• You cannot go wrong with this 3-ingredient recipe for a lighter potato dish.
• I grew up with this creamy, crunchy potato casserole that everyone in my family goes wild for. I dare you to try just one serving.
• If you want mashed potatoes but want to amp up the flavor with an unexpected (but awesome) ingredient, you should definitely make these.​​
