Chorizo Garlic Mashed Potatoes

The prepping time includes 30 minutes to roast 1 clove of garlic in a toaster oven (follow Pioneer Woman’s instructions for this on her site). If you already have some garlic roasted, your prep time won’t be as long.

Peel and cube the potatoes.

Place potatoes in a large pot covered with plenty of water. Salt the water a bit so the potatoes will be salted.
Set your stove to a high heat.

Bring the water to a boil and boil your potatoes until fork tender.

While the potatoes are cooking, prepare your other ingredients.

Dice the onion, roasted garlic, and chorizo.

Place 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet on medium heat.

Place the onions in the heated oil and cook until semi-translucent.

Next place the chorizo in the skillet with the onions.

Cook until onions are sort of brownish and the chorizo is nice and crisp.

Add your diced roasted garlic at the end to heat it up if need be (optional step).

Check your potatoes. When they are fork tender, drain and transfer to a bowl.

Add 1 tablespoon of butter and a 1/4 cup of milk.

Use a hand mixer to blend potatoes until smooth.

Add the remaining 1/4 cup of milk (if needed) to continue to smooth out the potatoes.

Basically, you need to just make quick mashed potatoes.

Once the potatoes are mashed, add the chorizo, onions, and roasted garlic. Mix together well.

Eat and enjoy!
