Gourmet Mashed Potatoes
This is my momma’s famous mashed potato recipe! She makes it every Christmas and Easter. The key here, in addition to all the fabulous dairy products, is that you boil, then mash, then bake the potatoes. This creates a buttery, crispy outer shell, hiding soft creamy homemade mashed potatoes under the surface.
