Cowboy Mashed Potatoes
The first time I had ever even heard of ‘Cowboy Mashed Potatoes’ was during a shopping trip at Publix. The lady was set up handing out samples of their ‘Apron Meals’ and it was Cowboy Mashed Potatoes made with those ready made refrigerated Mashed Potatoes. Well, they were delicious and I immediately bought all the ingredients and went home and made them for dinner. 🙂 I eventually found a recipe making them homemade and have never looked back. These make a great side for any kind of BBQ! I served them a couple of nights ago with my Chicken Monterey and a green salad with leftover Creamy Roasted Garlic Dressing and it was an awesome meal!
Cowboy Mashed Potatoes
Ingredients
2 lbs Russet Potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
3 Carrots, Peeled and cut into chunks
1 fresh jalapeno, sliced
6 whole Cloves Garlic
1 stick Unsalted Butter (1/2 cup)
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 cup Whole Milk
1/2 Cup Heavy Cream
8 oz Sharp Cheddar Cheese, shredded
16 oz Frozen White Corn, thawed
Green onions, sliced
Directions
Place potatoes, carrots, jalapeno slices and garlic cloves in a large pot. Cover with water and bring to a boil over high heat. Cook for 15 – 20 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Drain water from pot. Add the butter and use a potato masher to mash this mixture until butter is melted. Add the milk, cream, salt, and pepper. Continue mashing until you reach the desired consistency. Add the cheese and corn. Continue mashing. If desired, you can use a hand mixer to get the potatoes smooth. Stir in green onions and serve. Enjoy!
