Creamy Mashed Potatoes

Ingredients: 

• 6-8 large yellow potatoes 
• 1 stick butter
• 1 can of evaporated milk or 1 cup of whole milk 
• A handful of Scallions for garnish
• 1 tbsp of Yummy Blackening Seasoning
• 1 tsp of Yummy Seafood Seasoning 

Preparation

• Boil the skinned potatoes until tender, about 15-20 minutes. If you wanna keep the skin, it’s fine.
• Drain the water and with the help of a potato masher, mash all of them until it has a pure-like texture. 
• In a separate pot, pour  2 ½ cups of water and bring it to a boil. 
• Once it’s boiling, add the whole stick of butter. Let it melt. 
• Sprinkle 1 tbsp of Yummy Blackening Seasoning and about 1 tsp of Yummy Seafood Seasoning . The combination of both will bring out the New Orleans flavors to the mix, creating a fantastic Mashed Potatoes. 
• Add 1 cup of milk. For this recipe we’re using evaporated milk, it gives the mashed potatoes a more creamy texture, but you can use whole milk if you prefer. Once the milk is in, stir the mix for a minute and turn off the stove. 
• Next, we’re gonna pour this into the mashed potatoes. Take your time doing it. Pour some and, using a wooden spoon, stir the mix. Repeat until all the milky and buttery mix has gone into the mashed potatoes. 
• If you like it more creamy, add ½ cup of milk and ½ cup of water. 

Serving

• Sprinkle some scallions when serving. It gives a nice final touch and enhances the flavors. 
• Use this recipe for Thanksgiving or any occasion when you’re craving some creamy mashed potatoes.
• This and all Yummy recipes are best enjoyed when shared with friends and family.
