This recipe is going to be your new favorite way to make mashed potatoes. It is inspired by my love for decadent steak house sides , but my shade for the hefty price tag. You do not have to spend $12 for a side of mashed potatoes, this recipe will yield you about 4-6 servings for less than that. This pairs well with my Lemon Thyme Butter Steak recipe. Enjoy !
Glam Kitchen Tips
- Make sure you use real butter, not margarine
- When boiling your potatoes , at the end of the cook time make sure your fork slides through them easily (that is when you will know they are done)

2020-04-24 at 5:31 pmHi, about how much garlic powder would you recommend? I’ve tried roasting garlic cloves and adding it to mashed potatoes but seasoning seems so much easier, assuming it doesn’t compromise the taste? Thanks!!
2020-04-24 at 5:33 pmHi, I would probably start with a teaspoon and go from there. Normally I don’t measure but I would take it a teaspoon at a time and then season to your taste
2020-07-05 at 4:24 pmSo with this recipe, we don’t peel the potatoes?
2020-07-05 at 4:39 pmI leave the skin on but you can peel if you’d like ❤️
2020-07-07 at 7:52 pmThanks for the recipe could I melt the butter hun ?
