These are mashed potatoes much fancier cousin and they’re sure to impress! They require a little extra time and effort than a batch of mashed potatoes does since they need to be piped out and baked but they are so worth the extra few steps. I love that these potatoes are made with pantry staples and meaning you may as well make them a weekend dinner staple! And yes of course they are just perfect, elegant side dish to your Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner.
Who Can Resist that Garlic Parmesan Flavor?
One of my favorite flavor combinations for veggies and potatoes is the garlic-parmesan combo. Those two simple ingredients just pack a lot of flavor and they turn any drab, boring food into something exciting. They work wonders with these potatoes. Normally I’m all about mashed potatoes and gravy but these have changed my entire outlook on life :). What’s gravy? Only kidding, I’ll never stop loving those comforting, homestyle mashed potatoes and gravy but these can definitely be added to the rotation.
