Garlic Parmesan Red Mashed Potatoes

November 10, 2018 by becky 9 Comments

Easy and flavorful Garlic Parmesan Red Mashed Potatoes are the perfect tasty side dish!

Garlic Parmesan Mashed Potatoes

Mashed potatoes are a classic side dish that everyone loves. It’s the star at Thanksgiving along with turkey, at least in my opinion. I love a good classic mashed potato recipe but sometimes it’s fun to switch the flavors up.

I’ve been making this recipe for Garlic Parmesan Red Potatoes for a few months now and am so excited to be sharing it with you all today! I was blown away by the simplicity of this recipe because the flavor is outstanding!

Red Potatoes and Garlic

The ingredients are simple but amazing:

  • Red Potatoes- These are the best potatoes for keeping the skin on because of the flavor and great texture.
  • Garlic- The recipe calls for 2 garlic cloves but feel free to use 1 less or more depending on how much garlic flavor you like. You could even just add garlic salt if you want less garlic flavor.
  • Butter– Adds delicious flavor to mashed potatoes. You surprisingly don’t need to add very much to this recipe and it still tastes amazing.
  • Milk- Makes the mashed potatoes creamier. Just don’t use skim milk.
  • Salt- A must for mashed potatoes!
  • Parmesan- The perfect addition to this recipe to up the flavor even more!

I took this picture just after mashing it with a hand mixer so it’s still pretty chunky. But just keep mashing it and it gets smoother or you can use a hand mixer to get a smooth texture.

    Wow! I couldn’t believe how good this was. I wasn’t sure what I would think with just adding 3 tablespoons butter but the flavor was incredible!

    I boiled the potatoes before I saw the recipe so I sauted the garlic in butter then mixed everything together. It turned out great thanks for the recipe.

      I’m glad you still loved it! I’ve actually done the same thing because I only had minced garlic and I thought it would taste better sauteed first. Smart thinking! πŸ™‚
