Looking for the best mashed potatoes? These creamy mashed potatoes from Delish.com are insane.

Best Mashed Potatoes

lb. potatoes (about 4 large, combo of russets and Yukon Golds)

Kosher salt

butter,

c. milk

sour cream

black pepper

So good! I don’t typically like sour cream on its own but it was a huge improvement for basic mashed potatoes. Will definitely be making this again.

Love this recipe! Easy to make and delicious

I cooked 4 potatoes like the recipe said and when i added the milk and the butter the potatoes turned into a liquid so i baked them with mexican cheese.

These were perfect! A total win for everyone in the family, even kids. I added scallions because I had them on hand. I will keep this recipe forever.

Best recipe ever!! My family and I absolutely loved them.

Love this recipe just as it is. If you don't want a lot of salt and butter in your life, eat something else. These are perfect and will impress your guests.

A mushroom rice recipe is perfect as a side dish or as a main meal! Keep it vegetarian or add ground pork or beef!

Spicy Mushroom Rice Recipe

white rice

butter

shallot, sliced

jalapeno, diced

marsala wine

soy sauce

salt

1/4teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

Start by melting the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Add in the sliced mushrooms and let brown, stirring, for 10 minutes.

Next add the shallot, jalapeño, salt and pepper and let cook for another minute or two.

Deglaze the skillet with the marsala wine and let reduce for 2 minutes.

Add the soy sauce and stir, then add the cooked rice.

Stir together and then season with more salt and pepper to taste if needed.

Simple and tasted amazing! Decided to cook for the wife for a change and she couldn't stop complimenting me. Thank you! =)

Delicious! I cooked it for dinner and everyone loved it! Congrats and thanks!

Don't wash mushrooms. They absorb water which makes them harder to brown. Put them in a dish towel or bag and gently shake the dirt off. Great recipe. Looks delicious.

Just made this but added ground sausage to the mix. Omg so good, using the leftovers to stuff some butternut squash! This will be a fall staple.

Thank You! for the fabulous recipe. Had a bad craving for the old TGIF's black beans &amp; rice from years ago. This fits the bill, taste almost like it with a little heat added. Then again my husband picked up serrano peppers instead of Jalepeno. DELICIOUS any way. Taste bud happy dance!

I've mad this recipe a ciuple of times. The first one exactly like the recipe states. The second I added an item to add a slight crunch to give it some more texture. They were both excellant! I just wish I could remember the crunchy ingredient. LOL!

Made this for a potluck. It was really good. Did buy a good Marsala, not the grocery store stuff, I agree that is the key.

I have been making this for several years now and everyone loves it. I make it just as the recipe says except that I always double it. Amazing side dish.

Hi Dan, I made this today, WINNER !!!! Agree with you and will add additional jalapeño next time, great recipe, thanks so much

I love this recipe, especially the mushrooms. My husband loves sautéed mushrooms on his steak so this will be my go to recipes from now on. My only criticism would be that I found it to be a little salty, but that’s a very personal preference.  Reheats nicely.

Being from Louisiana, this is basically rice with soy sauce. Not impChelebaileyley1ileyressed.  Without the seasoning I added, it has to bland. But hey, to each her own....we like food with kick. This ain't it.

Just made this side dish for dinner tonight, and it is delicious! I had to leave the kitchen to stop from tasting and nibbling. It’s not too spicy, but leaves a little kick behind with every bite. Thank you for sharing; this one is a keeper!

Dan,
I stumbled on this recipe looking for a side dish.  I followed the recipe  but used chicken broth as I didn’t have marsala wine.  It was sooooo very good!   It tasted phenomenal the next day.
I just recently  made it again and added bacon and let me tell you, the flavors of everything just popped.  
This is the most simplest side dish recipe I’ve made that can be tweaked but tastes wonderful any which way you add to it.
I always double it!
Thank you so much for this great recipe that I make quite often!
Dunia

Maple Walnut Sweet Potato Casserole

sweet potatoes

sugar

maple syrup**

vanilla extract

cinnamon

unsalted butter (melted)

all-purpose flour

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray or butter a 9x13 baking dish and set aside.

To a large mixing bowl, add the sweet potatoes, sugar, maple syrup, eggs, vanilla, and salt. Using a potato masher or large fork, mash the potatoes together with the other ingredients. Once the potatoes are mashed, add the buttermilk and use a wire whisk to mix all of the ingredients until well combined.

Transfer the sweet potato mixture to your prepared baking dish and set it aside while you make the streusel topping.

In a medium mixing bowl, add the brown sugar, melted butter, flour, chopped walnuts, salt, and ground cinnamon. Using a fork, mix the ingredients together until all of the flour is moistened and a crumbly texture is formed.

Spoon the streusel topping over top of the sweet potato mixture and spread out into an even layer. Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes until the casserole is golden and bubbly. Allow the casserole to cool for about 10 minutes then serve warm.

Baked rice in clay pots, loaded with butter, milk and cream, can be savory or sweet. Today I am showing you the savory one. Incredible texture and heavenly taste. Meammar rice in one of the authentic, traditional Egyptian rice recipes, as old as Egypt I guess :). Meammar means loaded, and as you can see authentically, this rice is loaded with full cream, ghee and full fat milk. The slow cooking of rice in the oven gives it a lot of time to soak up all these flavors, to come up unique, fluffy and tastes heavenly good.
