Since my husband is Irish (mostly) and my sister also has an insane love for potatoes, I have a self-inflicted high standard of what I think mashed potato should be. I love garlic! It smells so good with the buttery mashed potatoes. You can also add chopped parsley or rosemary to the mashed potatoes. The choice is yours.
Pictures coming soon! 🥹
Notes:
- This recipe is to make for thanksgiving. Note the serving size
- If you are not a garlic lover, half the amount to this recipe.
