(4)

A self-created comfort food, these mashed potatoes are a little weird, but entirely too good! I will occasionally add sweet corn for a bit of crunch.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

  • 5 pounds red potato, cut into chunks

  • ½ cup carrots, cut into 1 inch pieces

  • 4 cloves garlic, halved

  • 1 tablespoon salt

  • 1 pinch ground black pepper

  • 1 teaspoon paprika

  • 1 teaspoon onion powder

  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves

  • 1 teaspoon dried basil

  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano

  • 1 teaspoon dried marjoram

  • ½ cup butter, room temperature

  • ½ cup shredded Cheddar cheese

  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

  • 2 tablespoons barbeque sauce (such as Sweet Baby Ray's®)

  • 1 cup hot popcorn chicken

  • 2 cups hot milk

Directions

  1. Place the potatoes, carrots, and garlic into a large pot and cover with water. Season with salt, black pepper, paprika, onion powder, thyme, basil, oregano, and marjoram. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and allow to steam dry for a minute or two.

  2. Return the potatoes to the pot, and mash until smooth. Fold in the butter, Cheddar cheese, Worcestershire sauce, barbeque sauce, and popcorn chicken until the cheese has melted. Stir in the hot milk until absorbed and serve.
