Notes
- STORAGE: Place any leftovers in a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- POTATOES: For these mashed potatoes, you can use baby red potatoes, yellow potatoes, Yukon or russet potatoes.
- NO-BOIL OPTION: To cook them alternatively without boiling---place cubed potatoes on a baking sheet (lined with parchment paper) and lightly dress them with olive oil. Bake in a 400 degree Fahrenheit oven for 25-30 minutes, until tender and knife goes through each potato smoothly. Once done, remove from oven and continue recipe.
- SWEETENER: Instead of cane sugar, you can use organic brown sugar, maple syrup, honey, or Agave, if desired.
