Mashed potatoes are a versatile dish that can be served as a side dish, main course, or even a dessert. They are typically made by boiling potatoes until they are soft and then mashing them until they are smooth. Mashed potatoes can be flavored with a variety of ingredients, such as butter, milk, cream, herbs, and spices. One unique way to serve mashed potatoes is to bake them in a muffin pan. This creates individual servings of mashed potatoes that are perfect for a potluck, party, or weeknight meal.
