How to make The Best Garlic Red Mashed Potatoes:
Start by gently peel potatoes. I personally like to keep a little skin on but you can peel if all if you prefer. Once peeled then dice. Place your potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Cook on medium/high heat until boiling and allow potatoes to cook until tender. Once tender drain water and return potatoes to the warm pot. Add your butter, milk, and sour cream. Use a masher to mash potatoes until creamy. Add garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Continue to use a masher or for a creamy potato use a hand mixer to mix and mash. Serve warm and enjoy!
