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.
