What are your favorite side dishes?
Mine is caesar salad (I am not a fan of pure vinegar-based dressing), corn muffin, mixed vegetables, and mashed potatoes with gravy. My most favorite though is the latter. Whenever I order something roasted or fried, mashed potatoes will always be the side dish to accompany it. I love if it is really creamy and not too dry. It will go well with the gravy. If it melts in the mouth, that’s an added bonus. My grandma used to make such creamy and flavorful mashed potatoes that sometimes there was no need to add gravy.
It tasted so well with any type of meat that our household used to call it, “the universal mashed potatoes”.
This recipe that I found over at Taste of Home gives mashed potatoes a tiny little twist. For one, it’s baked. There are also a lot of new flavors added to its traditional base, creating a finer, fiercer dish that speaks of “star dish”.
For the first time, mashed potatoes are given the spotlight, with its taste highlighted by the different ingredients going on in one pot. It’s not just simply the side dish here; it’s the main dish, the star of the culinary show.
This one is a very rich dish that will probably give you those extra pounds if you’re not careful. But it will be worth it. It’s an amalgamation of flavors all in one recipe that will make your stomach happy. One taste of this and you will soon find yourself in food heaven. When I make this dish again, I will make sure to use the lite versions of sour cream and cream cheese too. I guess you can’t really have too much of a good thing no matter how much it kills you to not have a taste.
I love making dishes like this for my husband and kiddos.
