Red Skin Mashed Potatoes Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Potatoes

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

2. 2

   Boil the Potatoes

   Place the quartered potatoes in a large pot and cover them with water. Bring to a boil over high heat and then reduce to a simmer. Cook for 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

3. 3

   Drain and Steam

   Once cooked, drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Allow them to steam for a couple of minutes to remove excess moisture.

4. 4

   Mash the Potatoes

   Add butter, heavy cream, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the potatoes. Use a potato masher or a hand mixer to mash to your desired consistency.

5. 5

   Serve

   Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving bowl. Garnish with chopped chives if using, and serve warm.
