Comfort food

I have really been honing in on comfort foods lately right? Well it is just that time of the year.


One of my favorite comfort foods are mashed potatoes, oh my god!

I know I shouldn't love them, as much as I do, but what can I say, they are just one of my very favorite foods ever.

One of Chris and my favorite ways to make them are to boil them with zatarain's crab boil. Yes it is for crawfish and shrimp, but we use it for crawfish boils, and potatoes are usually in crawfish boils. So Chris and I boil our potatoes in it.




Then we mash them up, add butter, cream, and sometimes cream cheese or marscapone cheese. It helps give them a creamier consistency and a richer flavor. Absolutely delicious. 

Also this past time, I added a bit of the seasoning in the actual potatoes after they were mashed to give them a spicy taste. Seriously so simple, so comforting, and so tasty. Can I say "so" enough?!


I just love the velvety texture
