These mash potatoes are just heavenly. I love baked potatoes but hate the work so this is a great alternative. I use mash potatoes as a filler for many meals, otherwise, my boys would never be full!
INGREDIENTS:
- Red potatoes
- Sour cream
- Parsley
- Butter
- Bacos – Bacon Bits (optional but SOOO GOOD!)
DIRECTIONS:
Clean potatoes, cube, and boil until done. Add sour cream, butter, parsley, and mash them up. Sprinkle bacos if you want and enjoy. Man, that was easy.
Well, I could have shown myself dumping sour cream and butter into the recipe but really, is that necessary? I used these mash potatoe with that shrimp scampi!…Great filler:)

This is a great idea! You know what Mitch Hedberg said about baked potatoes…”I like baked potatoes, man. It takes forever to cook a baked potato in a conventional oven. Sometimes I
HA! That’s very true though. It does take forever in the oven. These are sooooo much easier and faster!
Thanks for stopping by:)
I make this all the time! Only I just boil the potatoes and add butter and milk. Oh, and some salt & pepper to taste. It takes about 15 minutes, which is perfect if you have a busy life!
I make something similar but do it all manually. I don’t have a food processor. I use my old potatoe smasher and it kills my hand.
I posted this on my blog, I can’t get the banner to show up though. I did put the link to your page though.
Thanks for all the great giveaways!

I use those Idaho Instant Potatoes, and they really are pretty good. Not like most of those instant ones. Try it sometime. And THEN if I can add what you suggested, to those instant potatoes, I’ll bet they will REALLY taste super good. Thanks for telling us about your system. I guess you just use your judgement when it comes to adding the sour cream?
Sounds absolutely delicious.
Can’t wait to try it.

I agree this is a fast way to make mashed potatoes. I’m lactose intolerant, so I use margarine and soy milk to make them creamy and no one can ever tell the difference!
