Super Amazing Roasted Mashed Potatoes



Tonight I knew I was making something with corn.. I love corn. And what goes better with corn than mashed potatoes?! I love eating a bite of mashed potatoes and corn all in one go. I have an amazing recipe for roasted potatoes.. and I thought to myself.. "hmmm what if I skinned them and then mashed them" and holy moly.. they turned out AMAZING!!! (imagine me saying "amazing" in an opera voice.. cause that's what I just did)

peeled and cut

seasoned and ready to cook

baked to deliciousness 

smashed up (to relieve stress)

YUM! Roasted Mashed Potatoes paired up with some sweet corn, and Cheesy Spicy Cajun Chicken (separate recipe)


Anyways.. Here is the super yummy recipe for my roasted mashed potatoes!

Makes about 2-3 servings (very easy to double or tripple the recipe)
Ingredients:

  • 2 large potatoes
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp ground or freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 Tbsp butter (used after they are baked)
Instructions:
  1. Peel, rinse, and chop your potatoes in to cubes. (I would say about an inch)
  2. Put your cut up potatoes in a bowl and add your olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well and place on a baking sheet sprayed with non stick spray. I also line my baking pans with tin foil.. MUCH easier clean up.
  3. Bake at 350° for 30 minutes.
  4. Once they are done cooking, let them rest for about 5-10 minutes.
  5. Take a pan and start melting your butter over the stove (about med to med-low heat) Add all of your potatoes and just start smushing them. I am not sure what the kitchen tool is called for that.. but the one I am using in the picture works amazing. I just kept on smushing them until they were nice and soft! Of course they arent going to be 100% smooth because of the slightly chewy (and amazing) baked edges. 
They should be super flavory, and have a nice rich flavor. The fam loved them and I will totally be making them again! These were served with the Cheesy & Spicy Grilled Cajun Chicken, recipe can be found here http://cookingforthemonster.blogspot.com/2013/08/cheesy-spicy-grilled-cajun-chicken.html
ENJOY! Thanks for reading.

Daddy's Sunday Pancakes

This is the recipe my dad used to make us all the time when we were younger. EVERY Sunday he would wake us up early and make us pancakes, eggs, and bacon. We get this special syrup from our family back in Maryland. I don't think they sell it anywhere in Utah. It's a shame.. because this is the worlds most amazing syrup.. I love love love it! My grandparents ship it out to us in boxes because we love it so much. It is definitely my favorite thing to top off the amazing pancakes. Anyways... the recipe! ☺ Ingredients: • 4 cups of flour • 6 tsp baking powder • 1 tsp salt • 2 Tbsp sugar • 4 eggs • 2 ½ cups of milk Instructions: 1. Mix everything together 2. Cook on a skillet or frying pan (whatever works) until bubbly. I find that cooking it on medium heat works best. And as soon as it is getting pretty bubbly just flip it! 3. Top it off with whatever pancake stuff you like and then eat! ENJOY! thanks for reading!

Lemon Sugar Cookies

These little babies are slightly crispy on the outside, perfectly sweet, and are almost under baked in the middle, so it tastes like they are filled. SO GOOD! My family went crazy for these. The whole batch was gone within minutes. Today I decided that it might be fun to use our new clover cookie cutters for St. Patricks day. I couldn't find a sugar cookie recipe that I liked online, so I made up my own... and in the process discovered an AMAZING way to make lemon sugar cookies. These little babies are amazing. Now, this recipe can also be used as a roll out recipe for cookie cutters. But with the leftover dough I decided to roll them into balls and then roll them in powdered sugar.. OMG... So.. here is the recipe for both ways to do it. No joke.. you guys will love these. Makes about 40..ish cookies Ingredients: 1 cup softened butter (2 sticks) 1 ½ cups granulated sugar 3 eggs 1 tsp vanilla extract Zest from one lemon Juice from half of a lemon  3 ½ ...
