Mashed potatoes with grilled potatoes. Delish!

I’d like to introduce you all to the Klondike Rose potato.

I’m sure you are familiar with Russet potatoes, baby red potatoes…what they look like, how to cook with them. But don’t pass these guys up in the produce department. I love that you don’t have to peel them because their skin is really thin (and also gives great texture to mashed potatoes, like these here!) Once cooked, they are creamy, smooth and have a buttery texture. As you’ll see below, they have a creamy golden center with a rose colored skin. They are great for pretty much every cooking type (roasting, mashing, baking, and grilling)…so that’s why I decided to grill and mash them 🙂

Here’s how it goes…

Mash with your favorite mix-ins.

We all LOVED loved l.o.v.e.d. these potatoes. The smokiness from the grill and the seasoning salt made for a spectacular mashed potato side dish!

    Always parsley, depending on what we are having them with either garlic or plain greek yogurt (sometimes both). Bacon, cheddar cheese or cottage cheese have also been added.

    I tweeted the message although I had to drop a few letters from the beginning of it in order to make it short enough.

    Instead of sour cream – I use cream cheese (and various seasonings depending on the meal and my mood – anything from garlic, to bacon, to shredded cheese – or all the above). I find it adds basically the same flavor AND keeps the potatoes nice n’ fluffy yet “thick” – never too thin!

  74. Lesa says

    we use different things for different meals, we use bacon bits, onions, ranch seasoning, or even shredded cheese
