Tailgating Mashed Potatoes
Serves 8
Time 35 min
Try a big batch of these super-flavorful potatoes for your next potluck or tailgating party. This makes about 8 generous portions, but you can easily double it. Keep the mashed potatoes warm in a slow cooker, then set up a festive bar of garnishes so that everyone can customize their bowls. Looking for a vegan version? Just sub unsweetened plain almondmilk for the regular milk and olive oil for the butter.
