I don’t put garlic in anything, otherwise this could be a decent recipe. For my smashed potatoes ole I add carrots, corn and onions and then do a coarse smash. Two Tbs butter is plenty with sour cream if available. Precook the carrots and onion in the microwave then add to the pot with the potatoes.

These potatoes are amazing!!! I didn’t change a thing! I even ate some for breakfast lol!! I just couldn’t resist!!

I love this recipe!! My whole family comes running when I make it too. Couple changes though I use 5lbs of red or gold whichever I have or is cheaper. Then I use a big bag of mixed vegetables. And I top with country gravy. These taters are legit! Thanks for sharing.
Aaron Bowman
Not bad. Flavor was good. The carrots were not cooked through enough. Would cook them longer next time.
Troy Lewis
This is my official requested dish for family gatherings. I multiply it by 5 to use 5lb. Bags of potatoes. It works perfectly.
Tiffany Morgan
Good concept, but could’ve used more potatoes, or just less everything else. I added 10 ounces of peas as well, but boy there were not enough potatoes. Maybe I just like potatoes too much lol. I would however allow for a lot more time to boil the potatoes as it took double-triple the amount of time for me at max heat even.

Like others I was a little hesitant to make this for a family gathering. Boy was I surprised…. it was very easy, very flexible for ingredients and very popular. I will definitely use this one again and just change up the veggies. I usually make mashed potatoes and add sautéed spinach or chard. This was a very nice change.

Nothing special. Too much starch.
Christopher Martinez
Great mashed potatoes with vegetables. The garlic and chile were big hits.
Jeffrey Lawrence

I see peas in the picture but not in the recipe.
Stephen Daniels
If I could possibly gives this more than 5 stars I would. The only thing i change is to omit the jalapeno just because of a personal preference. this is one of my go tos for mahed potatoe dish when I don’t have gravy. Thanks for sharing this one.

After another reviewer noted that the picture shows peas, but peas were not included in the recipe, I added some peas (I feel the corn and peas should’ve been cooked at least a little in the boiling water, and not just have the thawed veggies added to the drained potatoes and carrots). I found the recipe bland, and while it was not bad, it’s not a recipe I’m adding to my collection.

Minus the peppers and salt (for my dietary needs) it’s really good. I added broccoli florets and it was delicious.

i was pleasantly surprised at how this turned out.. i was looking for a healthier side dish for bf’s dinner and found this.. next time i’d double the garlic or leave it raw and crush it in to give the potatoes a bit of a kick.. i made a few modifications but think i stuck to the recipe’s intention: used all russets, subbed pickled jalapeno that i chopped up for the fresh and threw it in at the end.. used a combo of yellow corn and peas for the white corn.. and lastly used margarine for the butter.. i also added a bit of unsweetened coconut milk to give it more of a creamy consistency.. i know bf is going to love this.. ty for the recipe

This dish is excellent and so easy to prepare! However, don’t make the same mistake I did and use super sweet corn! The sweetness was too overwhelming for some in my family.
Yolanda Murphy
Great potatoes! Such a nice change from regular mashed potatoes. I will make these often. Thanks so much for the delicious recipe!
