The secret to making mashed potatoes extra-flavorful is cooking them in Swanson® Chicken Broth. They're mashed until smooth and creamy, with just the right amount of butter and cream to make a homestyle potato side everyone will enjoy. These creamy mashed potatoes are an essential holiday side dish, but they're great any day- we love them as a side with steak or chicken.
Ingredients
- 2.5 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes , peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 cups Swanson® Chicken Broth
- 0.5 cups half and half
- 2 tablespoons butter
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
-
1
Place potatoes and Swanson® Chicken Broth in a 3-quart saucepan. Heat over high heat to a boil, then cover and cook (still on high) for 10 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
-
2
Drain the potatoes, reserving the broth.
-
3
Mash the potatoes with the cream, butter and about 1/2 cup reserved broth (the consistency will vary depending on the type of potatoes used, so you may want to add more of the reserved broth- see ingredient note). Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Chef John's Drunken Noodles
I did have a drink or three while making these drunken noodles, so I could enjoy them as the food gods intended, which is slightly drunk. At least that's the main theory on how this "pad kee mao" dish got its name. It is one of the easiest, and most delicious noodle recipe I know. Serve garnished with Thai basil.
Grandma's Homemade Pizza ala 'Da Boys'
This is a family recipe I got from my aunt and uncle out in California. I'm not sure whose Grandma we're talking about, but everyone loves it! We host football Sundays at our place, and this is a Sunday staple. Some people decide whether or not they are coming based on whether or not I am making my pizza.
