  1. This is a great roundup of potato recipes and thank you so much for including my Corn & Cheddar Mashed Potato Fritters.

  2. Lisa, these mashed potatoes look fabulous! My husband would love mashed potatoes every night! Happy Holidays! Linda

  3. I’ve got one for you. Been making these for 30+ years. The one thing is mandatory- you MUST cook the carrots and potatoes together in a pressure cooker. They won’t taste the same otherwise. Anyway- peel and cut carrots in half and place at the bottom of the pressure cooker. Peel and cut potatoes and place them on the carrots, at the top. Add water and cook until tender. Drain the carrots and potatoes, add butter, milk, salt and pepper and mash together, adding grated Parmesan/Romano cheese until you can taste the cheese. And that’s it. This also makes the most fabulous potato pancakes I’ve ever had.
