Mashed potatoes are a typical holiday favorite. Often, they are served with gravy, which can be a problem for the gluten free lifestyle. However, now there are many gravies that are created gluten free. There are also recipes for making gravy using cornstarch. Most of these recipes did not cost much more than the average gravy recipe, which can be a great help. Sometimes, in place of gravy, a gluten free mushroom soup can be used, and it is often healthier than some gravies. Potato mashers can be used. However, they can be very difficult to clean.
