Theyd be great with Baked Ranch Butter Pork Chops, Mississippi Pot Roast or used on a Roasted Chicken. Serve a big scoop with your favorite Ribs or Air Fryer Steak Bites. Can I use a stand mixer or electric mixer to mash them? I know its the thing now, especially shown on social media, these days to use an electric mixer or stand mixer to make mashed potatoes, but, I think if you arent a super experienced mashed potato maker, it can turn gummy real quick if you arent super careful. If overmixed, it releases excess starch and that is what gives you that gummy, not good, texture. I would think you can finish them with an immersion blender, but if you go too far with it, it will turn the potatoes gummy. So, I just feel that an old fashioned potato masher really is the way to go. Can I make these in the Crock Pot instead? Yes, you can make these Crock Pot Boursin Mashed Potatoes.
