DILL-icious Mashed Potatoes

WOW!  These were amazing!  I couldn't stop taste testing them!

Four Cheese Ranch Mashed Potatoes!

Holy Yum!  I actually ate these!  They were so good!  Beware, though... they are very rich and will go straight to your butt!  You only live once, right?  The key to the potatoes is in the whipping.  They have to be whipped until they are creamy, melt in your mouth yummy!

Prep Time: 5 minutes        Cooking Time: 20 minutes         Serves: 4


Ingredients
5 medium red potatoes
salt
pepper
Kraft shaker parmesan cheese
Kraft Three Cheese Ranch dressing


Method
Peel potatoes and cut into bit-sized chunks.  Boil potatoes until tender.  Strain out water.  Salt & pepper.  Add shaker parmesan and ranch dressing.  Whip with electric beater on slow for 1 minute or until creamy and fluffy.

First time out of the gate...

in my opinion, was a fail!  M & E seemed to like it though.

Fried Mashed Potatoes started out innocently enough.

These were the ingredients used:

salt, pepper, homogenized milk, salt-free Becel, no salt added butter, red potatoes, garlic, anaheim pepper

I wasn't banking on the fact that the little bits of potato would make for a difficult mix to mash, and that the char would make the mash a brown-ish colour.  My rose-coloured glasses were removed quite quickly!  M & E did enjoy the mash, because it tasted like the fry (which is always a hit).  Their only real complaint was that I didn't salt & pepper the potatoes enough.

I just wasn't happy with the result.  My high expectations are going to be reeled in a bit for the next mash up.  We'll revisit this recipe.  I might use sour cream or ranch dressing instead of butter and milk, and I might add chives or green onions.  The recipe will be posted once it's perfected.

Happy Mashing!
