I’ve always loved mashed potatoes, but I’ve never loved standing there peeling potatoes. Thankfully, I love potato skins in my mashed potatoes, and this recipe is truly so easy and so delicious.
Try these mashed potatoes with my Carrot Gravy, it makes the most to die for combination!
Pro tips:
1) Don’t be too shy about salting the water you boil the potatoes in. This seasons them from the inside and makes an incredible finished dish.
2) Be sure to very finely mince the garlic (or even use a garlic press if you have one). The garlic will only be cooked using the residual heat from the mashed potatoes, and you want to be sure that you don’t end up with a raw garlic flavor.
