Did you know that the average American eats approximately 126 pounds of potatoes each year. Not surprising, considering it is the perfect side dish!
Just imagine this mashed potato recipe with some leftover bolognese sauce you saved from some dinners ago. Add a great italian bread to it, and here you go… a fine, wonderful, easy and delicious meal! Ah… sorry… forgot the wine… Bordeaux, please.
More traditionally, though, a delicious mashed potato recipe goes pretty much with (almost) everything you can think of: roast beef, roast chicken, anything “stewed”, even fish. You name it, and it will match perfectly.
