Great side dish.... I steamed them in chicken broth, and then was able to use the already heated broth for the mashing!

Great healthy alternative
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I enjoyed these mashed potatoes even more than the standard type (with tons of butter). The use of stock combined with sour... cream seemed to do the trick. I did season with kosher salt and fresh pepper and served with meatloaf, peas and homemade gravy. This recipe also converted me from a boiler to a steamer for my mashed potatoes! They just seemed to have a better texture and flavor and with red skinned potatoes, not too starchy. Read more

No flavor
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

These were the most bland potatoes I have ever made. We are used to very flavorful mashed potatoes, and these did not hit... any spot. Luckily I had seen another Ellie Krieger recipe where she used fresh parm, so I added alot of that. Won't make these again.Read more
