Years ago, I was at a wedding reception where I watched someone literally load their entire plate with mashed potatoes (I wish I had the kahunas to do that!) To be honest, I love mashed potatoes and wish I could eat them every day, but it's definitely one of those foods you should have in moderation. So when I do indulge, I enjoy! I make mine with such oomph that I don't need gravy (however, my opinion on gravy is well known so feel free!)
What makes my mashed taters so good? I would say sour cream, Cajun seasoning, and REAL butter (remember, there is no substitute). Not a lot of butter, but a lot of sour cream- I pretty much use it in place of milk. However, I use the fat free version which as we know MIGHT not be as creamy as the full fat version, but I think it helps in place of milk. However, the real butter makes up for the fat free issue. The Cajun seasoning just gives it a little bit of bite!
Mmmmm loves me some mashed taters!
