I have yet to meet a potato that I didn’t like. I love potatoes of all shapes, sizes, and all styles of preparations. Garlic Parmesan Mashed Potatoes and Gravy might just be at the top of that list! This recipe will turn your favorite spuds into a delicious bowl of creamy mashed potato goodness that is drowning in a sea of gravy.

My husband, Kale, absolutely loved garlic mashed potatoes. When we go out to our favorite date spot, he is guaranteed to order them every single time.  It only took me a couple of times to see how excited he gets when they come to the table to realize I should be making these at home. I am happy to report that these Garlic Parmesan Mashed Potatoes and Gravy are 100% husband approved!

This recipe is one of my favorites to make as a side for our Sunday dinners. A large bowl of mashed potatoes on the dinner table just feels like home to me. Pair this recipe with my Perfect Pot Roast recipe for a quintessential family meal.

WHAT KIND OF POTATOES SHOULD I USE?

I recommend using russet, yellow, or Yukon golds.

CAN I USE ANOTHER STYLE OF GRAVY?

I prefer these with the gravy recipe as is, but you can replace the chicken bouillon cubes for beef ones if you would like a brown gravy instead.

SHOULD I PEEL THE POTATOES?

For a smooth and creamy texture peel your potatoes. If you prefer a little more texture keep the skins on a few potatoes.
