My KitchenAid stand mixer has a designated spot in my kitchen -- its own cupboard. I can’t imagine not having it when I need it. I have lots of recipes that are made better and easier because I use my stand mixer. But my favorite is probably mashed potatoes.

I never knew mashed potatoes could be so velvety and creamy until I made them with my KitchenAid. Now, that’s the only way I’ll prepare them. No matter what kind of mashed potatoes you like -- basic, garlic, cheesy, bacon, lobster, buttermilk, sour cream and chives -- the KitchenAid mixer ensures your mashed potatoes will be the exact texture you want. Yum!

Here’s one of my favorite mashed potato recipes. Try it in your KitchenAid Mixer and let me know what you think. 

Garlic Mashed Potatoes

Ingredients:

3 lbs unpeeled red potatoes, quartered

2 sticks butter, room temperature

3/4 cup grated Romano Cheese

6 cloves finely chopped garlic (approximately 2 tablespoons)

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 dash black pepper

Add a pinch of salt to large pot of water and bring to a boil. Add unpeeled, quartered red potatoes and cook for 45 minutes. When potatoes are tender, drain water and pour into KitchenAid mixing bowl. Add butter, cheese, garlic, salt, oregano and pepper. Using the flat beater attachment, mix ingredients. Start at a low speed and increase to medium until potatoes are a creamy consistency. Top with parsley and serve. Makes 8-10 servings.

Bon Appetit!
