I love The Barefoot Contessa recipes and this one is no exception. Rich, decadent and dreamy... these mashed taters were amazing. I made them exactly as written, they were quick and really easy to make with excellent results. Served with corn and chicken for a memorable comfort meal. Made for What's on the Menu? Tag game 2017. -

Made half recipe, using less butter, 2% milk, and Recipe #39350 for creamy potatoes with less calories and fat, and did not need gravy for taste. Served with Recipe #261176. Thanks for sharing Juenessa. Made for When It's Hot Tag Game.
