These Chunky Mashed Potatoes are one of my favorite side dishes, we make it a lot at our house. First, it’s very easy to make, usually we have tons of leftovers, which is always a winner. Second, our toddler adores his Chunky Mashed Potatoes especially when topped with some sour cream or cottage cheese. Third, the toppings and flavors are endless!
Chunky Mashed Potatoes are perfect for the Thanksgiving meal, especially since you can play with the toppings that your family loves.
My secret to perfect Chunky Mashed Potatoes are actually choosing organic potatoes and leaving the skin on, it adds such a nice texture. Never leave the skin on if the mashed potatoes are not organic! Also, I love using whole heavy whipping cream to add some nice creaminess to the mashed potatoes.
Here are a few of my favorite suggestions:
- Caramelize onions or mushrooms
- Crumbled bacon
- Grated cheddar cheese or cottage cheese for a protein boost
- Green scallion and olive oil for a fresh taste
- Sour cream
