I had the blessing of having my Grandma Ruth over for dinner last weekend. Since then, she will not stop ranting and raving about these mashed redskin potatoes!
Because I love you Grandma..here is my recipe. I suppose I owe you one

| 4 lbs of redskin potatoes. I peeled any “brown spots” I didn’t like off and kept the good skin on. Boil these on high heat until very tender. Pierce with a fork to test – if the fork goes through easily they are done. Drain in colander. Transfer to large bowl. |
|
| Mash potatoes with sour cream, butter, milk, salt, pepper, and garlic powder ( I used Garlic, Garlic from Tastefully Simple) |
 |
| This made enough for 10 servings. I also made corn on the cob, bread twists, cucumber salad, watermelon , Hawaiian Chicken Kabobs, and Triple Berry Cobbler. Mashed Redskin Potatoes 1 stick of butter 1 cup sour cream 1/4 cup milk 1 tsp garlic powder (or more to your liking) salt and pepper to taste. Peel brown spots off of potatoes keeping some of the red skin on. Boil potatoes in a large pot until tender. Pour out into colander. Transfer hot potatoes into a large mixing bowl. Add butter to potatoes and mix with mixer (or mash with a potato masher). Get out most lumps (I always leave in a few). Add remaining ingredients and mix ( or mash) well.(If you want thinner potatoes add additional milk 1 Tbsp at a time.) |

This sounds yummy! Very similar to how I make regular mash potatoes. I will have to try it with red potatoes, I love those too! Thanks for sharing!
