This is one of those late-night things that just sorta evolved.
Plan was: Mashed Potatos.
But, heh, stuff just happened....
Diced the potatos, added diced onions, and some garlic. Put on to boil.
Then, I thought about adding some Canadian Bacon for flavor...then decided some chopped carrots would be nice...then boullion, salt/pepper/thyme/rosemary and some leftover jalapenos got chopped too. Added some cayenne powder for flavor/warmth too.
So, now I basically had a stew....lol!
But I still wanted "mashed potatos".
So, when everything was done, I drained off the broth to keep as a yummy stock or whatever, and rough-mashed the rest.
Voila:
Added some butter and a sprinkle of pepper.
Delish!
Maybe I'll whip up some of it tomorrow with some of the broth and half 'n half for a cold potato soup eh?
cheers,

**BTW...that was only *ONE* potato from this bag of monsters I bought...like a 7"x3" potato.
