31% Of People Think This Thanksgiving Side Is Better Than Mashed Potatoes

With Thanksgiving right around the corner, many of us are thinking about our favorite parts of the meal. Turkey always seems to be a fan favorite during the time-honored tradition. However, there's some dispute over the best way to cook a turkey with some people preferring it to be roasted and some preferring it to be deep-fried. Then, there are the delicious sides we get to gorge ourselves on during this time of the year. From green bean casserole to cranberry sauce, there's a lot of sides people look forward to eating.

In fact, Reddit users debated over which side was the best with one writing, "My mom's broccoli and cheese casserole," they said. "It's a tradition for my family for both Thanksgiving and Christmas." Another wrote their favorite side was, "Delicious sweet potatoes with brown sugar and butter and topped with marshmallows then baked....friggin delish." And who can forget what is arguably the ultimate comfort food: mashed potatoes? Whether you view them as a beloved family tradition or – as one commenter described it – a beloved "mechanism to deliver good gravy," there is no doubt that they are a Thanksgiving staple.

With so many opinions, how did we come up with the side people like most? Mashed conducted a survey of 555 people across the U.S. to find out which Thanksgiving side is the ultimate fan-favorite.
