I saw this recipe in a magazine (don't remember which one now) and it caught my eye because it was called The Best Ever Mashed Potatoes. I thought what could be so different about this that they would be called "best ever?" Don't you just add milk, butter and salt and it's all the same? Here is the description, "Butter, milk, a bit of heavy cream, and our secret ingredient - a dash of vinegar - make these the most delicious potatoes ever." I had never heard of using vinegar in mashed potatoes, but thought I'd give it a try - guess what?! They were great! Kayla ate them right up and had seconds! (Which is unusal for her at dinnertime!) So here you go...
3.5 lbs russet potatoes, peeled and cut into cubes
2/3 c milk
1/3 c heavy cream
6 tbsp butter
1/2 tsp cider vinegar (I used a full tsp because when I tried 1/2 tsp I didn't really notice much taste)
In large saucepan, simmer potatoes in salted water until soft. Drain well. Return to pot or bowl; add milk, cream and butter. Using potato masher or electric mixer, beat potatoes until fluffy. Beat in vinegar, mixing well. Add salt to taste (I like adding season salt).

Wow who would have thought!??!
That's very different...I bet they're delicious though. I'm going to make them this weekend with some meatballs and try them out. Thanks for sharing! =)
Those would be deadly for my IBS, but my family would love them.
I'll pass it along to Hubby.
Neat, I'll have to try that the next time i make Mashed Potatoes. Thanks for the recipe!
You know, we've made mashed potatoes with heavy cream and even garlic, but I've never tried cider vinegar before. I'll have to give this a try!
Thanks, Michelle, for participating in my Five Ingredient Friday recipe exchange. I do appreciate it!
What an interesting twist, the vinegar. I'll bet this mashed potato recipe is actually quite good. I'll be trying this one for sure so thank you for sharing it.
Sounds wonderful! I haven't heard of vinegar in mashed potatoes either, but I'm gonna give it a try.
Wow! Learn something new everyday! lol Sounds worth trying, especially if little Kayla liked them! :)
Mmmmmm- sounds great. I just might try this for our Thanksgiving potatoes this weekend!
