Mashed potatoes is a really great recipe that is often relegated to the position

of side dish. This recipe is a spin of the classical mashed potatoes recipe

that's got itself more going on. You can serve this dish for a relatively light

meal, or you can also serve it as a side dish if you want to have a really

hearty meal.

eating this as a side dish, it might be more like 6-8 portions.

\*You can play with the proportions depending on how creamy or dry you want the

mashed potatoes to be.

4. Warm up the milk and mayonnaise.

blender.

the mix.
