Smashed Idaho Potatoes
Creamy, garlicky smashed Idaho potatoes and the welcome addition of parsnips make for a holiday worthy side that's easy enough to prepare and enjoy on a weeknight, too.
Notes
For richer smashed potatoes, substitute light or heavy cream for the low-fat milk.
Here's an optional way to prepare this:
- Boil 1/2 pound peeled, cored, diced parsnips with 6 peeled garlic cloves for 8 minutes, or until tender. Puree in a food processor.
- Prepare dehydrated Idaho potato flakes to serve 10 and add in parnsip and garlic mixture. Adjust seasoning and garnish as desired.
We like to serve this with sour cream.
