Mashed Red Potatoes Recipe

Cooking Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Potatoes

   Wash and scrub the red potatoes thoroughly. Cut them into quarters for even cooking.

   Drain and Mash

   Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and return them to the pot. Add the garlic butter mixture, remaining butter, and heavy cream.
