Special Mashed Potatoes: The best way to dress up regular old mashed potatoes and make any meal special!
Everyone loves mashed potatoes but especially Special Mashed Potatoes! These have been a family favorite in our house for almost 30 years.
Special Mashed Potatoes are frequently requested as part of a birthday meal but are not reserved for only special occasions. They are just too good to not have often. They really do dress up a meal.
I always plan for plenty of leftovers when I make these. These are also great warmed up the next day; not the case with regular old mashed potatoes. I have never had to throw away any because they always get eaten! We are always happy to clean these up!

Adobo seasoning is our favorite topping. We also love Frank’s hot sauce on them. Here it is pictured with rotisserie chicken and home canned green beans (see how to can green beans).

Since I have been eating low carb, I even made a low carb version out of cauliflower that is delicious called Keto Mashed Cauliflower Much Like Potatoes. It is the same exact recipe just made with cauliflower instead of potatoes! It is easy to make on the side with frozen cauliflower while I make these for the family so I don’t miss out.
