Cook time: Servings: 4 Servings

Ingredients

  • 4 small red potatoes (or 2 large)
  • 1/2 cup milk or cream
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/3 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 Tbsp butter
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp pepper
  • Any fresh herbs for garnish (chives, parsley or scallions work great)

Directions

  1. a large saucepot, filled with water, on high until water boils.
  2. Wash and cut potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Once water is boiling, place potatoes in water (Note: I always use a large spoon to drop potatoes in boiling water for safety!) and cook for ~ 10 minutes until fork tender.
  3. Drain water in colander and return potatoes to pot. Mash with a large fork or potato masher until large lumps are removed. Add milk, butter, cheese, garlic powder, salt and pepper. With a handheld electric mixer, beat until fully incorporated and “creamy”, i.e. you’ll still notice some lumps but potatoes are mostly smooth.
  4. Taste and adjust salt and pepper if needed.
  5. Garnish with any fresh herbs of your choosing.
