Garlic Mashed Potato Recipe ...A Favorite Restaurant Recipe
Once a Secret Restaurant Recipe
I think potatoes, including garlic mashed potatoes, sometimes get a "bum
rap" in terms of their health value. For instance, did you know that one
medium potato provides almost one-half the daily requirement for
vitamin C?
We only need to remember not to over indulge. I think that is true of most
foods. I believe in eating a balanced diet and not over-eating.
This restaurant recipe is delicious with an all natural, dry-aged steak, roast
beef, pork chop, roast chicken or salmon, halibut, or other seafood.
