Ultimate Mashed Potatoes

Loaded with seasonings, cheese, and barbeque sauce, these mashed potatoes are a little weird, but entirely too good! I will occasionally add sweet corn for a bit of crunch.

Ingredients

• 1 pinch ground black pepper
• ½ cup butter, room temperature
• 1 tablespoon salt
• ½ cup shredded Cheddar cheese
• 2 cups hot milk
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon dried marjoram
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
• 4 cloves garlic, halved
• 5 pounds red potato, cut into chunks
• ½ cup carrots, cut into 1 inch pieces
• 2 tablespoons barbeque sauce (such as Sweet Baby Ray's®)
• 1 cup hot popcorn chicken

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Place the potatoes, carrots, and garlic into a large pot and cover with water. Season with salt, black pepper, paprika, onion powder, thyme, basil, oregano, and marjoram. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and allow to steam dry for a minute or two.

Step 2

Return the potatoes to the pot, and mash until smooth. Fold in the butter, Cheddar cheese, Worcestershire sauce, barbeque sauce, and popcorn chicken until the cheese has melted. Stir in the hot milk until absorbed and serve.
