My husband and I ended up quadrupling this recipe by accident. I originally planned on just doubling the recipe. The original recipe serves just 2 and I like to be sure to have leftovers for lunch the next day. I bought 2 packs of 4 potatoes, one pack for this recipe, the other pack for another. It was my husband’s job to make the mashed potatoes while I worked on the baked chicken. But my sweetie ended up cutting up all 8 potatoes! Well I just said we will quadruple it and that’s that. It ended up being a happy accident. The mashed potatoes were quite delicious. I didn’t even mind having 5 containers full of mashed potatoes in my fridge. They are great for easy side dishes throughout the week.
