All Things
This recipe is not my typical meatless Monday recipe but, I am the only non-meat-eater in my household and sometimes sides are what I end up eating with a salad. Which means, I need to come up with the best sides every to keep me full. These red-skin garlic mashed potatoes are a creamy, meets savory, meets flavorful, and just downright delicious recipe. One that was too good not to share! Mashed potatoes go with EVERYTHING! I have always talked about loving flexibility in my recipes. Add a little of something here, add a little something there... it creates the ability to meet everyone's taste buds and preferences. However, I think I have finally done it! I have nailed my red-skin garlic mashed potatoes recipe to where I do not need to play around with it anymore. Let's start with the potatoes... the recipe name clearly states red-skin, but I have also used golden yellow potatoes and it does taste equally as delicious. So, if you have a preference in potato, here is the flexibility of the recipe for yourself. I used about 9 medium to large size potatoes and cut them in all different shapes. As long as they are cut thin (speeds up cooking time), it does not matter the shape you make them. After all, they are all just getting mashed together anyway. Once your potatoes are cut, put them in a large pot and add water to just slightly over the potatoes. Stir in your 1tsp salt, cover, and wait about 30-40 minutes or until tender enough for mashing. Strain the potatoes once tender enough and put in a medium size bowl for the magic of deliciousness to happen. I mean seriously, my mouth is watering right now. Mash the mashed potatoes with a fork or a potato masher. I do not use a hand mixer. I had heard a while ago that it was not good to use a hand mixer. I could not remember for the life of me why, but, I just do not use one. Once they are mashed to your consistency preference, add your butter, milk, garlic powder, minced garlic, sea salt, and pepper. Stir to combine and taste test. Ingredients:
