These creamy mashed red potatoes are delicious and simple to make. I got these small red-skinned potatoes from the farmers market last week. Leaving the red skin on the potatoes gives these mashed potatoes a rustic look. The best part is no peeling involved! I really dislike peeling potatoes for some reason, and the only time I do it is when I make latkes or potato pancakes. Enjoy these mashed red potatoes, they are great as a side dish.
