Potatoes perfect for any occasion, Everything Spiced Red Skin Mashed Potatoes are simple to make in no time. Mixed with a savory browned butter, this easy side dish will be on the menu every week.
Red Skin Mashed Potatoes
Side dishes shouldn’t be fussy, or take a lot of time. I love a good casserole side but potatoes always have my heart because they’re easy to adapt into something completely new. Red Skin Smashed Potatoes are my new favorite because they’re crazy easy to make but the flavor is out of this world.
Tender cooked red potatoes are mashed until creamy and smooth are stirred with melted browned butter before being seasoned with Everything Bagel Spice. Just three ingredients and you have one easy side dish that’s going to be a hit with everyone that takes a bite.
Ingredients You Will Need
You only need three ingredients to make these Everything Spiced Red Skin Mashed Potatoes.
- Baby Red Potatoes – I like to use the baby potatoes because they cook up quickly and you don’t need to chop. You can use the large red skinned potatoes but be sure to cut them into uniform chunks before cooking so they cook evenly.
- Butter – Salted butter….you need the salty solids to create the brown butter, also known as beurre noisette. Brown butter is made by cooking butter long enough to turn the milk solids brown while cooking out any water in the butter. It tastes nutty, warm and has much more flavor than just regular melted butter.
- Everything Bagel Seasoning – The most epic (and trendy) spice blend, it has kosher salt, garlic, onion, poppyseeds and sesame seeds so you don’t need much else to season your potatoes. We like to use our homemade Everything Bagel Seasoning. Make a big batch…put it on everything. Literally.
