I made these last night with Chicken Fried Steak. They were very good and very simple to make. I didn't use the skim milk (blech) Give me fat or give me death! :o) I also added a handful of chopped chives at the last minute. Yum!

Loved this yukon gold mash with garlic! I like to add some sour cream or cream cheese if I happen to have any on hand. I also bring the potato pieces to a boil in cold water that just covers them. Served it with balsamic relish chicken thighs and sauteed rainbow chard with bacon. Yum!

I made these as part of my special Valentine's menu. The potatoes received rave reviews. I left the skins on. I also added a half a stick of butter and a large dollop of sour cream. I used the whip of my KitchenAid mixer instead of a potato masher. The texture was creamy after I made these additions. I also sprinkled in a tablespoon of chopped fresh parsley because I had some on hand and used in a few of my other dishes that night. Thanks for sharing a great recipe.
