Seriously, who are you? Can you do no wrong? Everything I have ever made of yours is just right up my alley. The family, even picky kids, liked these yummy potatoes. I was surprised at how mild the outcome was, might add more garlic next time, otherwise, perfection on a plate!
Made the entire meal for Father’s Day dinner last night. The potatoes were my favorite…and just about everyone else’s as well! The only thing I changed was to roast some whole garlic cloves with the potatoes and shallots. We loved the mellow flavor of the roasted garlic. The whole meal was delicious!
I have tried mashed potatoes so many different ways, but this recipe goes to the top of the list! I love the flavors and it was so good that my picky daughter didn’t even complain about the onions. She was helping me put the dish together and as we mixed the potatoes in preparation for the oven she said that she could tell this would was going to be a good dish. So simple. I followed the recipe exactly.
Just made this for Father’s Day and everyone loved it! Not for the calorie counters in the family. Worth the effort….yum.
I’m slightly confused. I believe I saw Aaron roast those potatoes and shallots, smash them and then add the remaining ingredients. The printed recipe is certainly another way to do it but I think I like what I saw on the show best. Delicious.
This is the BEST potato recipe! I am such a potato fan, and this just takes them over the top! What Flavors! WOW! I love that you roast them after boiling them. I roasted mine a little longer to get more color on them. I used yukon gold potatoes about 1.5 lbs but kept the same amount of liquid. It seemed like there was too much liquid but the potatoes absorbed it all and WOW! My husband even said they were the best ones I ever made! You Go BIG DADDY!
These potatoes are out of the ordinary, rich and perfect with grilled steak.
Easy to make but special enough for an important dinner. I used Yukon gold potatoes because that is what I had on hand. Everyone loved them.
