Garlic Ranch Mashed Potatoes - All you need is 5 ingredients and 10 min prep work for the BEST and EASIEST mashed potatoes ever! A must for the holidays!

The weather fluctuates anywhere from 60-80 here. I feel like it’s Christmas time at one point in the day, yet when 2PM rolls around, I’m walking around in flip flops.

But whether it’s winter or summer or whatever season it is right now in Los Angeles, I just know that I am so ready for Thanksgiving.

Mainly because of this here. AKA, the best mashed potatoes ever, hands down. With only 5 ingredients, of course.

I’m not even joking. This is really the absolute best because at the end of the day, nothing is going to top that Ranch Seasoning with melted butter.

Nothing.

Recipe

Yield: 6 servings
Prep: 10 minutes
Cook: 15 minutes
Total: 25 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds red potatoes
  • 4 cloves garlic, peeled
  • 1 1-ounce package Ranch Seasoning and Salad Dressing Mix
  • ⅓ cup half and half*, or more, as needed
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
  • Instructions

    1. Place potatoes and garlic in a large stockpot or Dutch oven; cover with cold water. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, cover and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 10-12 minutes. Drain well and return to the stockpot.
    2. Add Ranch Seasoning, half and half and butter; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
    3. Using an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, blend potatoes until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. If the mixture is too thick, add more half and half as needed until desired consistency is reached.
    4. Serve immediately, garnished with chives, if desired.
