What do you do to make plain old mashed potatoes wonderfully delcious?

Question

Cheese? Garlic?

What's your recipe?

Answer 1

Dress up instant mashed potatoes instantly by adding a spoonful of mayonnaise. It removes a lot of the graininess and makes them smoother and creamier. I also love to add a bit of ranch dressing to mine, or even better, ranch dressing powder. A little salt, a little pepper, and voila! Delicious every time.

Answer 2

i have personally made and enjoyed all these ideas (family as well)
sour cream mashed:
heat butter and fresh crushed garlic in pot, simmer to blend flavours
boil potatoes in skin (halved)
discard garlic chunks
mash potatoes with the skins, add garlic butter and a generous large amout of sour cream, then whip- awsome
from 30 min. meals

whip potatoes, add mushrooms, onions, gr. peppers, cheez whiz. put in oven dish, grated cheese ontop. bake for a while...30 min. or so

mash potatoes with package on onion soup mix...maybe not the whole pack...do to taste for the amount of taters you making

mash or whip with salt and pepper, garlic powder ( not salt...if u use garlic salt maybe dont add salt) blend in some bacon bits
or /or and bake in oven with can of corn

ok i havent tried this one
mash and add 1/2 can mushroom or celery creamed soup from the can and bake 1/2 hour or so (instead of scalloped potatoes....i use both for flavoring of that...i may try that with mashed now) just a thought...because they go good with potatoes

Answer 3

I peel, cube and boil the potatoes for 15 to 20 minutes. I drain the water then I put margarine (not butter) in the potatoes. I probably use a half stick or a couple of spoons of margarine. I use a little milk then add sour cream and cream cheese. I blend it all together. Very good!

Answer 6

When boiling the cubed and peeled potatoes in salted water, I add one or two brussels sprouts to them. Then when everything is boiled soft, I mix it with an electric hand mixer, with a bit of milk, sour cream, a pinch of flour, and a dash of pepper.
