Garlic Mashed Potatoes

I LOVE POTATOES! Who doesn't.... fried, baked, mashed... however they are made they are delicious (with the right amount of salt of course!). My personal favorite is my momma's garlic mashed potatoes.  They are too good to be true.  They are inspired by The Cheesecake Factory, but they might even be a littttttttle bit better.

 The secret ingredient: red potatoes with a little bit of skin.  Mashed potatoes are sooo much better when you use red potatoes.  No clue why, just trust Chef Hively.

Peel.

Boil.

Mash.

Forgot to take a picture..... Too busy mashing.
