Best Mashed Potatoes

Time to share some of my favorite recipes for this season. Like all of my recipes, these have to be super easy because LIFE! Part of enjoying the holiday season is being able to provide a yummy meal for my friends and family but still have time and energy to enjoy my guests. Having easy recipes like this one on hand make that possible.

Ingredients:

1 carton of Swanson® Chicken Broth (4 cups)
6 large potatoes 
2 TBSP butter
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup sour cream
2-3 TBSP black pepper 

Directions:

1.  Prepare potatoes by peeling and dicing them into 1 inch pieces. 

2.  In a large pot add the Swanson® Chicken Broth and diced potatoes.  Bring pot to a boil. 

3.  Once boiling, reduce heat to medium and cover with a lid. 

4.  Let potatoes cook for 10-15 minutes.  

5.  Drain potatoes, making sure to keep 1/4 cup of broth from the pot.  

6.  In a large bowl combine the cooked potatoes, 1/4 cup cooked broth, butter, cream, sour cream and black pepper.  

7.  Using a hand mixer, mix potatoes until nice and creamy!  Enjoy potatoes as a side dish with your holiday meal.  Delicious!  

These mashed potatoes taste amazing and with just a few extra ingredients your guests will be asking for seconds and maybe even thirds.  This holiday season, put away the same old mashed potato recipe and use this one instead!

Over the years, the mashed potatoes at our family gatherings have always been the talk of the table. Now that I am having the opportunity to bring side dishes to the family dinners I am excited to have my family try this recipe. Adding sour cream, heavy cream and Swanson® Chicken Broth is an idea I got from volunteering at my son’s school for Thanksgiving feast. I had no idea about this fancy trick that literally takes no more time than my “normal” mashed potato recipe. Honestly, boiling the potatoes in the Swanson® Chicken Broth is brilliant. Talk about adding great flavor to the potato itself.
