Garlic & Herbed Mashed Potatoes
Garlic & Herb Mashed Potatoes
DO NOT PEEL THE POTATOES. That is just blasphemous to the country code. Page 14, Section 3, Paragraph 8. Look it up. If you have to, peel half and leave the rest. It doesn’t just taste better but most of the nutrients are in the skin.</em>
