Recipe red skin mashed potatoes Request

Hi Linda,

I don't have a recipe for this on my site. Your request is pretty generic - you could find a dozen recipes for this by going to Google and typing "red skin mashed potatoes" in the search box. Google would supply links to multiple recipes for them with photos and descriptions. What I do is search for recipe requests that are a little more specific, such as for a red potatoes recipe from a particular restaurant or with a specific name or specific ingredients that are not so generic.

I did go to a generic recipe site and there I found the below recipe. Perhaps it will fill the bill for you.

Red Skin Mashed Potatoes	 

1 (5 lb.) bag red skin potatoes
1 tsp. each salt and pepper, or to taste
1 pint heavy whipping cream (or less)
2 cups (4 sticks) butter
hand potato masher

Wash and cut potatoes in halves. Boil till soft.
Drain water and add potatoes back to pot. 
Add butter and 1 teaspoon of salt and pepper (add to taste).

With hand held masher start mashing, turning the pot while mashing 
will keep the potatoes evenly mashed.

When they start to come together add about half pint of cream, repeat mashing, 
add more cream to make creamier potatoes. Too much cream will make them runny.

Note: Use cream instead of milk because the richness of the cream give the potatoes 
a nice white color.
