Loaded Mashed Red Potatoes

Loaded Mashed Red Potatoes blend creamy, buttery spuds with sharp Cheddar and aromatic herbs, then add a subtle tang from Worcestershire and a smoky hint of barbecue sauce. Tender garlic and pops of carrot sweetness round out the flavor, while hot popcorn chicken on top turns this side into a hearty, fun crowd-pleaser. Serve for casual dinners, game days, or any comfort-food craving.

Loaded Mashed Red Potatoes
  1. 1

    Put the potatoes, carrots, and garlic in a large pot and cover them with water. Season with salt, black pepper, paprika, onion powder, thyme, basil, oregano, and marjoram. Bring to a boil over high heat, then lower to medium-low, cover, and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and let them steam dry for a minute or two.

  2. 2

    Return the potatoes to the pot and mash until smooth. Fold in the butter, Cheddar cheese, Worcestershire sauce, barbeque sauce, and popcorn chicken until the cheese is melted. Stir in the hot milk until absorbed and serve.
