    Christmas is coming and you know what that means...a multitude of side dishes are going to be needed. So today, I'm sharing with you all of our Christmas potato recipes in hopes that you will find one or two holiday potato recipes that will suit your holiday table.

    I'll be sharing everything from baby potatoes to mashed (my specialty) to casseroles and even sweet potatoes. I'll make sure that by the end of this post you'll be set with a perfect Christmas potato recipes side dish.

    A side dish that will bring your Christmas dinner to the ultimate level. A side dish that will have people begging for more and make others rave about how good their Christmas dinner just was!

    Christmas at Our Home

    Christmas is one of my favorite times of the year. With the snow gently falling outside the windows, blanketing the world like something out of a fairy tale. It's just breathtaking. I love to celebrate it with those I love and I make every effort to create the perfect dinner.

    Every year my son and his wife come over with a bunch of their friends that are essentially family to us. We pull out the folding table to make room for all of us that gather for the festivities.

    Our home is decorated to the nines and we go all out for our Christmas spread, including Christmas potato recipes...because no holiday table would be complete without them.

    We fight over who gets to enjoy the Christmas potato recipes the most because I make more than one recipe and they're usually the first to go when the plates are being served.

    We open one present together and celebrate the true meaning of Christmas, in our eyes. That is to gather with ones you love and give from the heart. Now, while other people choose to celebrate differently, this is how we do it in our home, we choose to celebrate with love.

    What Goes into a Christmas Dinner?

    When it comes to Christmas dinner, there are many methods and choices available for you to try. Some people go with the traditional turkey dinner served with stuffing, potatoes, veggies, cranberry sauce and gravy.

    Other people go with chicken, ham, or roast beef as the main course but still stick with the same side dishes. Potato recipes for Christmas are a staple for any holiday gathering.

    Almost forgot, if you have any extra potato peels instead of tossing them in the garbage I'll hope you try this addictive snack, our crispy potato skin chips. They're out of this world good.

    Whether they be air fryer potatoes, mashed, sweet potatoes, or more, the list goes on. And, don't even get me started on the desserts because there are too many to discuss in this post so I'll just stick with holiday potato recipes.
