Easy Peasy Picky People Potatoes

In an effort to ease sweet potatoes into my picky kid/husband diet 

I devised easy-peasy picky people potatoes.

They are, in the words of my wee friend Anilese, "A party for your mouth".

Ingredients:

Red potatoes, Yukon gold potatoes, light fleshed sweet potatoes. 

Garlic.  Butter.  Milk. Sour cream.  S&P

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In a microwave safe bowl put desired amount of potatoes.  

I leave skins on red/gold potatoes & peel sweet potatoes.

Pierce potatoes with fork.  

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Cover and microwave (I did 20 min for these)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now comes the goodies!  Milk (1/2 cup) butter (2 tbsp) sour cream (2 tbsp) garlic (2 to 3 cloves) 

For the non goodie eaters, substitute chicken broth - 

but be warned, the party for your mouth is way less fun.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Add goodies to microwave cup.  Heat through.  

If the garlic is not soft microwave them a wee bit more.

When the potatoes are done, mash with fork.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Add in goodies.  

It will look ugly.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Add salt & pepper.

Stir well.  

It will look better!

If you want mashed, here it is. 

If you want soup, add in heated milk and chicken broth, more sour cream.

It is makes a dreamy chicken potato soup.

  Simply add diced or shredded chicken.

optional add ins:

red pepper flakes

chopped jalapeno

cheese
