Mashed Redskin Potatoes

 
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 😉 lol.
 Love, Janelle 
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
4 lbs redskin potatoes (brown spots peeled off)
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.)

    I just made these for my family today for Easter and they ALL loved them! Said they were “restaurant quality”. Thank you so much for this recipe and all the others I plan on making! Love from California- God bless you and your family!

  6. I tend not to write many responses, however i did some searching and wound up here Mashed Redskin Potatoes.
    And I do have 2 questions for you if you do not mind.
    Could it be simply me or does it look like some of these comments look like left
    by brain dead individuals? 😛 And, if you are writing on additional sites, I would like to keep up with anything fresh you have to post.
    Would you list of the complete urls of your communal sites like your
    Facebook page, twitter feed, or linkedin profile?

  7. I made these For Christmas dinner. Delicious! Had a 5 lb bag of red potatoes so had to boil for about 35 minutes.
