Garlic & Chive Mashed Potatoes with SKIN ON for extra nutrition!
This recipe really is from my Aunt Donna! I changed it a little bit, just adding extra garlic and extra chives and I do like to leave the skin on my potatoes, people seem to like them just as well that way. You will need to make sure to scrub them really well with a vegetable brush and cut off any bad spots before cooking them.
The other change I made was to use Greek cream cheese, because it increases the protein and decreases the fat but has the same creamy, delicious flavor.
Enjoy!
