On the few nights that we eat unhealthy, we try to load up on carbs as much as we can. We do it so little throughout the month that we just love to try new things and eat a bit differently. I discovered and tweaked this Texas Garlic Red Mashed Potato recipe and loved it! Hope you do as well!
My grocery list for this side includes:
- 5 – 6 medium-sized red potatoes
Staples that you may already have in your kitchen:
- 2 tablespoons of butter
- ½ teaspoon of garlic salt
- ½ teaspoon of onion salt
- ½ cup of milk or heavy cream
- 4 - 5 cloves of minced garlic
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
Bring a large pot of water to boil; add potatoes unpeeled, and boil until soft, about 10 to 15 minutes. Drain, and place in a large bowl.
Mix with butter, garlic salt, onion salt, pepper, milk, and garlic.
Mash the potatoes with a potato masher until they are to desired texture.
Sometimes we also add red pepper flakes or steak seasoning to add some kick to the mix instead of normal black pepper. This is completely optional but also delicious!
