These mashed potatoes are a self-made comfort dish that are a little strange but oh-so-delicious! For a little crunch, I occasionally add sweet corn.

Ingredients
- 5 pounds red potato, cut into chunks
- ½ cup carrots, cut into 1 inch pieces
- 4 cloves garlic, halved
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 pinch ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried marjoram
- ½ cup butter, room temperature
- ½ cup shredded Cheddar cheese
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons barbeque sauce (such as Sweet Baby Ray’s®)
- 1 cup hot popcorn chicken
- 2 cups hot milk
Instructions
- Place the potatoes, carrots, and garlic into a large pot and cover with water. Season with salt, black pepper, paprika, onion powder, thyme, basil, oregano, and marjoram. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and allow to steam dry for a minute or two.
- Return the potatoes to the pot, and mash until smooth. Fold in the butter, Cheddar cheese, Worcestershire sauce, barbeque sauce, and popcorn chicken until the cheese has melted. Stir in the hot milk until absorbed and serve.

Reviews
I have been holding onto this recipe for a while and it was definitely worth the wait, wonderful comfort food. I did include the corn for added crunch, sweetness and texture…it complimented the sweetness of the carrot nicely. I did use roasted chicken as opposed to popcorn chicken, as I felt it was a healthier option…though the fried bits would have made it incredible. Thank you ally-gator for sharing. Next time, I might just sprinkle the cheese on top of each portion as I did with the corn.
Oh, so good! A nice change. Thanks for the great recipe. Everyone loved it .
