How can you having a Thanksgiving meal without mash potatoes?  I LOVE potatoes with all my heart and this is the only time of the year that I actualy make it.  This recipe is very simple and the key is to keep it simple.

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb of Yukon Gold Potatoes (Brown Potatoes)
  • 1 stick of unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • Salt and Pepper
  • McCormick’s Garlic Herb Seasoning

Instructions:

  1. Boil potatoes for about 35-40 minutes or until soft.
  2. Once cooked put it in a strainer and run it under cold water so you can peel the skin.
  3. Put the peeled potatoes into the pot and mash it.
  4. Under low-medium heat, add butter, some salt and pepper, and a cup of full fat milk to the potatoes and mix it.
  5. Add the garlic herb seasoning if you want for enhanced taste to your potatoes.
  6. Cover the lid and wait for it to cook for about a minute and then serve.

Oh so delicious!  It is definitely well seasoned and very soft to my liking.  The potatoes will be a big problem if it is too watery and the remedy for that is to cook it longer.  I would recommend you to taste it before serving to see if it’s salted enough.   You can use the gravy for the turkey for this as well and it will taste incredible.  I have used this easy recipe last year and the years before that and I have never been disappointed!

Until next time,

    Did you get the masher for this recipe?? Mashed potatoes is a requisite for Thanksgiving. I always like a little cranberry sauce with my mash. But then again, I like cranberry sauce with every Thanksgiving dish: Turkey, stuffing, etc.
