But we are here today to talk about garlic red skin mashed potatoes that use red bliss potatoes and are seasoned with roasted garlic.  One of the life-changing ingredients for these garlic mashed red potatoes is roasted garlic.    It’s amazing and it really rocks that comfort dial.  And we used red bliss potatoes that have the most amazing flavor.

You can’t beat these mashed potatoes for comfort food, and the added ingredients are just another layer of comfort.  So when making these potatoes, it’s just simply adding extra flavor.  So you use roasted garlic, heavy whipping cream and a little extra butter that will create that comforting dish we are all craving.

Tips for making the best garlic red skin mashed potatoes

  • Never use cold butter or cold cream
  • Always salt the boiling water as the potato chunks are cooking
  • Never over-mash the potatoes or they will become like glue
  • Also, it’s Ok, for these potatoes to have a few chunks, lumpy is not only ok but wanted with Rustic Mashed Red Potatoes.
  • It’s always better to use a hand potato masher, not a mixer (See above, my grandmother’s potato smasher with a wooden handle)
  • Leave the peel on the potatoes
  • Season with plenty of salt and black pepper to your taste

 

 

While Yukon golds or russets will be creamier, these red potatoes produce a chunkier rustic dish.  And these garlic mashed red potatoes will hold their own to any hearty main dishes, such as a prime rib, a pot roast or baked ham.

So you need to make a  bowl of these comfort mashed potatoes to fill in all your food groups each and every day!
