Yummy Yellow Taters image

My two young boys would only eat boxed mashed potatoes, until I came up with this recipe. Little do they (and my finicky husband) know they are also eating their archenemy, onions!! This dish is different because you boil the seasoning with the potatoes instead of adding them later, thus a milder flavor. Serve piping hot with butter or homemade gravy although they don't need either. Enjoy!!!

Time 35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 medium baking potatoes, peeled and diced
½ cup chopped onion
3 cloves garlic, sliced
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 cup sour cream
¼ cup butter or margarine
½ cup milk
12 drops yellow food coloring
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Place the potatoes into a large pot, and fill with enough water to cover by 1 inch. Add the onion, garlic, basil, 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper, and bring to a boil. Cook until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.
  • Drain the contents of the pot in a colander, then transfer to a large bowl. Add the sour cream, butter, milk and food coloring, and beat with an electric mixer until light. Adjust milk if needed. Do not beat too long, or the potatoes will become stiff and pasty. Taste and adjust salt and pepper before serving.

I'm not a huge fan of potatoes, but these were actually pretty good. I would definitely make them again.

These potatoes were delicious! I followed the recipe exactly and they turned out perfectly. I served them with grilled chicken and a side of vegetables.

These potatoes were a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I would have preferred them roasted instead of fried.

Yum! I love the crispy skin and fluffy inside of these potatoes. They are the perfect comfort food.

Meh. I found the flavor of these potatoes to be a bit bland. I think I would have preferred them with some additional herbs or spices.

These yellow taters were a hit! I made them for a potluck and everyone raved about them. They were so creamy and flavorful. I will definitely be making these again.
