This has been around for a while, but I thought it would be fun to share n my recipe blog:
Garlic Mashed Potatoes
Labels: Potatoes, Side dish
I am the official Mashed Potato maker when we have family dinners, so I have perfected these wonderful spuds :)
7-8 good sized potatoes, peeled & cleaned (unless you are using Yukon Gold or Reds, then just scrub them clean & leave the skins on)
1 stick of butter or margarine
1 c. milk (whichever you prefer)
1 Tbsp. minced garlic or 1/2 Tbsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. paprika
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. pepper
1 Tbsp. Parsley or chives (optional)
Dice & boil potatoes until they are soft enough to break apart with a fork. Drain them (you can keep the water for gravy if you like). Add butter & mash with potatoes to melt it. Add milk and mash more. Whip in remaining ingredients until potatoes are fluffy.
Prep time: 20 minutes
Cook time: 30-40 minutes
Serves 9 people

Loaded Baked Potatoes
Labels: Potatoes, Side dish
1 large potato per person
1 pkg. bacon, diced and cooked
1/8 tsp. chopped garlic for each potato
1/2 lb. grated cheddar cheese
1 c. diced chives or scallions
1 container of sour cream (we like the Mexican version)
1 tsp butter for each potato
Preheat oven to 400. Slice each potato down the middle, the long way, with enough room to keep the halves together. Place them on a cookie sheet with sides, or in a baking pan. Stuff them with bacon, garlic, chives & butter. Cover with foil and bake 45 minutes or until potatoes are tender. After removing from the oven, use a fork to mush the stuffings into the potatoes a little more and then top with cheese and sour cream.
*I am listing this as a side-dish, but we usually have this as a main dish with a side salad.
prep time: 10 minutes
cook time: 45 minutes (you may also microwave these at about 8 minutes per potato)
