Variation:
- For a lower fat mashed potato, replace the milk with an equal amount of chicken or vegetable stock. Start with just 1/2 a cup of liquid and add the rest if needed.
- You can also cook the potatoes with the skins on, particularly if the skins are nice and thin. Just make sure the potatoes are well washed. The roasted garlic mashed potatoes shown above have been cooked with their skins on.
These potatoes would make an excellent side dish for either of our meat loaf recipes.
