Creamy Herb Mashed Potatoes

Creamy Herb Mashed Potatoes at Miz Helen's Country Cottage
The men and most of the women in our family love a great potato dish. We have made a number of different potato recipes in my day, and this is one that they all love. It is a very special recipe with herb infused cream and very creamy potatoes that just melt in your mouth. This is a potato recipe that I make for very special occasions and very rarely have a left over. It has gone to church dinners, ladies covered dish events, and football banquets. It is a great recipe for a family gathering of any kind.

We Start This Recipe With A 
Pot Full Of Whipped Potatoes

  1. I usually only make mashed potatoes a few times a year, but they are one of my favorite sides. The herb infused cream sounds like an amazing addition!
