Tasty Tuesday ~ My Mashed Potatoes

Does everyone do this, find a handful of good recipes and make them often? Well, that's usually what happens in our house. Over the weekend I made a standard favorite, BBQ roast, only this time I used a less fatty cut of meat, sirloin tip roast. We also made a little trip to the farmer's market for some fresh produce: redskin potatoes, cucumbers, sweet vidalia onions, and tomatoes. I served the cucumbers, onions, and tomatoes with Italian dressing. It's such a simple and refreshing salad to make in the summer!

Now I know everyone does mashed potatoes their own delicious way, but this is how I made these tasty taters:

~ Srubbed, quartered, and boiled approx. 7 small redskin potatoes until they were soft all the way through.
~ Mashed them just the right amounts of butter, salt, black pepper, milk and garlic powder.
~ Stirred in fresh, chopped chives/green onions.

I would have added light sour cream as well, but my husband is not a fan. Oh well. They were fabulous anyway!!!
