If you ask hubby what completes a meal, his response will always be mashed potatoes. This is especially true if the creamy mash is infused with garlic. Garlic Mashed Potatoes are a favourite around here and made in a snap with our treasured Instant Pot.
We don’t always have potatoes in the house, but the boys love their mashed potatoes so we usually have a box of the instant stuff stocked in the pantry. As good as that is in satisfying a craving, there is nothing like using the real thing.
These potatoes are made with chicken stock and milk but if you are looking for an even richer indulgence, cream would make these decadent.
These are perfect as a side for Sunday Supper and make the best turkey partner for Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Make Ahead…
These potatoes are easily made in advance. If you are making these ahead, be sure to add a bit of milk when you are warming up the potatoes. This will ensure that they remain smooth and fluffy.
