Ranch Mashed Potatoes
Description
Ranch Mashed Potatoes start with red potatoes that are quartered and boiled with their skins on, offering a hearty texture and retaining nutrients. Once tender, they're mashed together with minced garlic, ranch seasoning, butter, and salt. Milk is gradually added to reach a fluffy and creamy consistency. This method results in mashed potatoes that are smooth yet slightly textured from the skin, with a gentle tang and herbaceous flavor coming from the ranch seasoning and garlic.
The potatoes are best served warm immediately after preparation alongside a variety of main dishes, providing a familiar yet seasonally distinct taste. The ranch seasoning adds a tangy, savory element that sets this mashed potato recipe apart from the classic version.
A note for variations includes substituting heavy whipping cream for milk to add richness and creaminess. Adjust the amount of milk for preferred mash consistency.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs potato red
- 2 tsp garlic minced
- 1 pkg ranch seasoning 1 oz.
- 1/4 cup butter
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
- Clean the potatoes and quarter them (leave the skin on).
- Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with water. Bring to a boil and simmer for about 10-15 minutes until the potatoes are fork tender.
- Drain the potatoes and then return them back to the pot.
- Then add in the garlic, ranch seasoning, butter, salt and 1/2 a cup of the milk. Use an electric mixer to blend the potatoes until they are light and fluffy. Gradually add in the remaining milk until the mashed potatoes are the consistency that you prefer.
- Serve immediately while warm and enjoy!
Notes
- You can substitute heavy whipping cream for milk to make the mashed potatoes richer.
