Red-Skinned Garlic Mashed Potatoes are just, can I say, perfect! I made these to go with a fabulous meatloaf recipe which I will get to posting eventually. These are actually so good that I woke up in the middle of the night craving them. There was a little bit left. So, I wandered into the kitchen and warmed some up with a little bit of cheddar cheese. Nothing like a mouthful of comfort food…….
Place the cubed potatoes and sliced garlic cloves into a saucepan. Make sure the water level is about 2 inches above the potatoes. Once it comes to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low and cook until potatoes are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
Dump the drained potatoes and garlic into a bowl containing the warmed cream and melted butter.
With a hand- mixer, beat these ingredients together until creamy. You know you want to lick these beaters! Go ahead; I won’t look! 
This is a perfect side dish for any meal which you prepare. Red-Skinned Garlic Mashed Potatoes is side dish to impress, for sure! Any family food function should include this comfort food, it may help avoid those disagreements about life matters; just insert another spoonful in your mouth.
