Who else is dreaming of Thanksgiving comfort food galore? It’s almost here you guys!
Let’s just be honest though. Mashed potatoes are T-H-E ultimate comfort food…for I’m pretty sure, everyone! I mean who doesn’t want in on warm, rich and creamy buttery textured goodness?
So I made Italian Oven Fried Crispy Chicken Breasts yesterday and what better side to go with that dish? You guessed it; nothing other than Roasted Garlic Parmesan Mashed Potatoes! We were smothering our chicken with this stuff as if there were no tomorrow. If only we thought of tomorrow, I’d be having a bowl of leftover tasty comfort right now. 😐
↑ That’s my son, Roy, lending a hand! 🙂
These are so easy to make. The garlic gets roasted in the oven as the potatoes are boiling. You drain, add the roasted garlic, some almond milk, cheese, butter and your seasonings. Mash it all up then stir in green onions for added beautiful color and a subtle tasty crunch.
I didn’t use any sour cream but you can most definitely add that in. I personally thought this was tasty enough and didn’t need sour cream or it’s added calories. You can serve with or without your favorite gravy.
So simple. So easy. So tasty and comforting. Perfect after a long hectic day.
Now get your kids off to bed, load that dishwasher and send your husband or wife to take out the garbage. Kids or no kids. Husbands or no wives. Just do whatever it is you need to do to be alone. This is your moment to fill the biggest bowl you own with Roasted Garlic Parmesan Mashed Potatoes and savor every spoonful. Enjoy!
