Ingredients

  • 2 pounds red potatoes
  • 4 cloves garlic peeled
  • 1 1-ounce package Ranch Seasoning and Salad Dressing Mix
  • ⅓ cup half and half* or more, as needed
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place potatoes and garlic in a large stockpot or Dutch oven; cover with cold water. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, cover and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 10-12 minutes. Drain well and return to the stockpot.
  2. Add Ranch Seasoning, half and half and butter; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  3. Using an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, blend potatoes until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. If the mixture is too thick, add more half and half as needed until desired consistency is reached.
  4. Serve immediately, garnished with chives, if desired.

Notes

  • *Half and half is equal parts of whole milk and cream. For 1 cup half and half, you can substitute 3/4 cup whole milk + 1/4 cup heavy cream or 2/3 cup skim or low-fat milk + 1/3 cup heavy cream.
