Standard mashed potato recipe, you know, peel and chop those bad boys into quarters and then put in a pot of salted water, let them boil until nice and soft.

I took a sauce pan and threw in some fresh garlic all chopped up and sauteed it a bit before adding pure amish roll butter and milk. Let that melt down nice, stir a bit, then pour into the taters while I was mashing them in the drained pot.

Made a homemade gravy from frying up a few pieces of bacon and then adding flour and milk to the grease to top the potatoes with. Little dash of salt and pepper and I swear they were so good I could have died happy right there.

cheers

That sounds awesome. I love to put garlic in my potatoes, but that bacon gravy sounds as good as icing on cake. Yum!

Oh it was.

It was just the right amount of milky sweet but had that bacon sear sort of after taste and just absolutely decadent with those potatoes!

Thanks for the Green!

I whole heartedly agree.

I've been to some super expensive high class restaurants and never had any mashed potatoes as delicious as these came out.

What are some of your favorite simple but luxurious foods/meals?

Yukon gold with TRUFFLE OIL.

Oh NOW THATS a freaking idea right there!

Never deal with dried flakes except co-workers at time lol but the truffle oil would be a great touch.

You talking about truffle oil in frying the yukon gold potatoes? or baking them?

My mashed potato recipe is similar to yours, minus the amish butter as I can't get that here, so I won't post it. However there is a really good looking roasted potato recipe I want to try:

I do party potatoes


Using baby reds, boiled till soft, then clarify some

red onions and garlic in a pan of olive oil and butter.

add in about half the potatoes after onions are soft

and mash them thoroughly with some milk.

Then cut in half the rest of

the potatoes and add into the mashed. stir thoroughly.

Gives you kind of a chunky mashed potatoes but really good.

Make your potatoes as normal. After you mashed them- add some sour cream and stir them up good. These are delicious.

ohyeah I was going to post this. Idahoan makes the best instant potatoes ever. Sometimes I make them for Thanksgiving because I am to busy cooking my main dishes and people rave over them. I never tell them that is instant...LOL! I love the applewood smoked bacon and the loaded baked potato ones and also the garlic and herb one is good too.
They are good for prepper storage too.

I don't peel the potatoes - I like the added texture when they are mashed and sometimes add chopped green chili.

And I'm lazy so I just throw the garlic cloves into boil with the potatoes. But I can imagine sautéing the garlic in a separate pan as someone posted, would be even better!

I really like mashed potatoes with cottage cheese added rather then cream. Plus toss in the garlic as OP suggested and some sort of cheese...shapr cheese...nice.

You just about covered it all, except the potato skins can be left on if you like. Maybe some shredded smoked edam, or sharp cheddar. This is like the beans and rice thread, go wild and enjoy.

Nice touch! I like the slightly unpeeled bit that you do there. I also like to include a bit of the skin... first things first though... gotta get some onion and fresh garlic simmering in some butter and just a squirt of olive oil.

Sometimes, I tackle it just as I do making that authentic Mexican Restaurant style rice and I will just infuse the garlic and onion and salt in the liquid that I am using to boil the potatoes. When you do that, you can also add some variables such as (bacon?).

Adding the bacon flavoring also adds to the overall taste of the mashed potatoes. One more thing! RED potatoes!!! they rock!
