The BEST Mashed Potatoes Ever!

The BEST mashed potatoes! 

Yes, I realize these can be fighting words, but hear me out. If you know me, you will know I can put away any kind of potato any time of day. Tots for breakfast, sure why not? Mashed potatoes in a wine glass with gravy, absolutely! I actually have set up a few events with mashed potato bars. A build your own line with all the toppings, they are always a big hit.

 

My claim to this title is I was born and raised in Idaho. My Ma made potatoes all the time and, in every way imaginable. 

When I moved to the PNW I was shocked people actually had to pay for potatoes as my stepfather worked for a potato factory and we always had them in a never-ending box in the cupboard. They are hands down my absolute favorite vegetable.  

There are so many different ways to prepare mashed potatoes. Every way is delicious, but this particular recipe is my favorite and also my go-to for holidays. They are not light in calories, but I promise they are divine in flavor. You will not be disappointed and return time and time again to make this dreamy bowl of spuds.
