It is time for the Heart-Attack Mashed Potatoes

Tweet

Oh these have been an annual holiday tradition for almost 2 decades. My former mother-in-law's mother devised the recipe and my MIL shared it with me when I joined the family. The recipe clearly isn't heart-healthy or calorie free with all of the potatoes, sour cream, 2 blocks of sour cream, and stick of butter along with the salt and pepper. It sounds really heavy when you look at the ingredients but it all gets whipped in the stand mixer so it is surprisingly light. It also is great because you can make it a day or 2 before but when you reheat it you'd never know. We call it Heart Attack Mashed Potatoes because of all of the fat. No one ever turns them down though. They are DELICIOUS and we only have them once or twice a year. I will make them on Wednesday night so they can be reheated on Thursday for Thanksgiving dinner.
