Description

Mashed potatoes get flavor and creaminess from French onion dip and garlic for a quick side dish that's great for weeknight meals or a holiday dinner.

Ingredients

1 teaspoon salt
4 cups water, or as needed to cover
3 baking potatoes
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup French onion dip
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon milk, or to taste
1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

1 Dissolve 1 teaspoon salt in water in a large saucepan and add potatoes. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and return potatoes to the saucepan.
2 Mash butter, French onion dip, and garlic into potatoes using a potato masher or fork. Mix milk into mashed potatoes, 1 teaspoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached. Season with salt and black pepper.
