Mashed potatoes are never boring for my family though I am not a very big fan of potatoes. As soon as I see a bowl of mashed potatoes, for me it is the time to try some flavor enhancers. All of these enhancers are good for about 2 cups of mashed potatoes. so please adjust the ingredients per quantity of mashed potatoes and per taste and enjoy!!
