3 New Mashes to Switch Up Your Potato Game

SAVE & SHARE:

No one loves Mashed Potatoes more than my son, my 5-year-old can scoop it out of the serving dish, directly into his mouth any time of day! But I like to mix things up, especially for the holidays when I’m always looking for ways to reinvent the classics we love. Here are three new versions to give a try, mashed Cauliflower, Sweet Potato and Rutabaga. Let me know if you give them a try and which one is your favorite. And I’m always looking for recipes I can makeover so comment and tell me what I should make next!
