Red potatoes are my favorite. I use them more so than any other potato...I especially like them for mashed. Love their creaminess. I've been making my mashed potatoes this way for as long as I can remember...( on special occasions normally)... They are delicious! I leave the skins on, you could peel them, but all of the vitamins are in the skin...hope you try them sometime...Enjoy! My photo

How To Make creamy red skinned mashed potatoes

  • 1
    In a 4 - 5 quart dutch oven place potatoes, garlic if using and salt, cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, lower heat, cover and simmer for 25 minutes, or until fork tender. When potatoes are just about finished cooking. Place cream and butter in a saucepan, and heat just until butter is melted. Drain your potatoes and place in a large mixing bowl. Mix the potatoes for a few second to break up. Then add the cream mixture. Continue mixing on low speed till smooth. Now, fold in the sour cream, salt and pepper. Serve immediately. Quick note: Sometimes to change things up; I use 1 1/2 pounds russets, or Yukon golds and 1 1/2 pounds red potatoes.
