MASHED POTATOES

Perfect for any occasion, whether it be after a hectic day at work, or a festive dinner like Easter, Christmas or Thanksgiving! With only 5 main ingredients, you guys will love these just as much as we do!

These creamy mashed potatoes have been in our family for years. We don't normally measure anything, so imagine how hard it was to add ingredients while measuring them at the same time to make sure I could give you guys the BEST potatoes of your life.

WHAT GOES IN HOMEMADE MASHED POTATOES?

Make sure you start with the best potato possible. In America, go for Yukon golds or Russet potatoes. In Australia, choose Dutch Creams, Creme Gold or Creme Royale.

Salted water for boiling - not adding salt to the water will yield bland tasting potatoes.

Softened unsalted butter - using unsalted ensures you have full control of how salty your mash comes out.

Sour cream - makes them EVEN CREAMIER when compared to regular potatoes.

Garlic - use fresh where possible.

Fresh shredded parmesan cheese - adds incredible flavour.

Hot milk - why hot milk? To ensure your potatoes are still warm after mashing.

HOW DO YOU MAKE THE PERFECT MASHED POTATOES?

Cut your potatoes into the same sized pieces to ensure they all cook evenly and at the same time.

Boil potatoes in salted water until JUST fork-tender. Try not to over cook too much as they can become quite sticky or gluey when overcooked.

Sauté garlic in some butter until fragrant.

Drain potatoes and add in the hot milk, cooked garlic, remaining butter and sour cream.

Mash the potatoes with a potato masher until smooth, adding a little extra milk if needed. You can also use an electric hand mixer beaters to ensure a smoother consistency. Beat just enough for them to smooth out while being extra careful not to over beat as they may become gluggy.

What can you add to mashed potatoes?

You can add almost anything and they will taste amazing! Some optional ingredients:

Onions: green onions, shallots, red onion (again, add to the water with the potatoes and cook together).
Chives
Fresh herbs like thyme, parsley or rosemary
Cream cheese
Bacon

This is the best LASAGNA RECIPE! Pasta, an easy meat sauce, and ricotta cheese are layered and then topped with more cheese before baking.

The easiest and creamiest pasta made in a single pot - even the pasta gets cooked right in the pan! How easy is that?

Garlic and parmesan. A match made in heaven. And with the help of a single pan, you can make the easiest, most epic pasta ever.

Just think of this as a creamy alfredo, except without the heavy cream and the cream cheese. And no, taste is not compromised in this super easy one pot meal.

The one pan aspect actually helps the noodles soak up all that amazing flavor, giving you that light cream sauce coating the noodles in all its garlic-Parmesan glory.

And if you really want to save on dishes, you know my rule - this should get eaten straight out of the pot. The dishes, the plating, the garnishes - it'll just slow you down anyway!

One Pot Garlic Parmesan Pasta

The easiest and creamiest pasta made in a single pot - even the pasta gets cooked right in the pan! How easy is that?

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

4 cloves garlic, minced

2 cups chicken broth

1 cup milk, or more, as needed

8 ounces uncooked fettuccine

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves

Directions:

1. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.

2. Stir in chicken broth, milk and fettuccine; season with salt and pepper, to taste.

3. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until pasta is cooked through, about 18-20 minutes. Stir in Parmesan. If the mixture is too thick, add more milk as needed until desired consistency is reached.

4. Serve immediately, garnished with parsley, if desired.

I believe there is something to appreciate and learn from each subject, but my least favorite would have to be law. Although It is something that we all have to live by and have the power to change, it is difficult for me to stay intact with it, being that certain laws do not have to  be invoked and the fact that it is very technical and a lot of memorizing.
