When I was a kid, I despised mashed potatoes, but now I love them. Whenever I go to restaurants, if one of the starch options with my meal is mashed potatoes, I'll always opt for it. I've never tried making mashed potatoes at home though since it seems like it would take too much time and effort. But thanks to MyBlogSpark, I received a couple of boxes of Betty Crocker´s® Boxed Instant Mashed Potatoes and other kitchen necessities that made making mashed potatoes a cinch!
A tasty companion to any meal, that's ready in just 8 minutes! Your family will love Betty Crocker flavored mashed potatoes. They're made with 100% real potatoes and blended with just the right seasonings. And with 8 different varieties of flavored mashed potatoes, you can bring more variety to your family menu, without any extra work.
Since I love garlic, I decided to make the Roasted Garlic mashed potatoes. I simply boiled some water and butter, then removed it from the heat and mixed in the potatoes along with some milk, let it stand for 3-5 minutes since I like my potatoes stiffer, then fluffed it with a fork.
Fluffing the potatoes with a fork was a bit difficult for me--it seemed like I couldn't get it nearly as smooth as how it looked in the box, so I left it a little bit lumpy.
I served the mashed potatoes with some chicken, and I admit I was a little bit skeptical as to how good it would taste, but I was pleasantly surprised.
The mashed potatoes tasted delicious. The garlic flavor was just right--not too overpowering. Although I personally prefer mashed potatoes with chunks of potatoes in them, I still thought the Betty Crocker's Instant Mashed Potatoes was really good.
Who knew making mashed potatoes could be so easy and tasty?
