Artichoke Mashed Potatoes

MADE FOR ZWT4. The combo of potatoes and artichokes appeal to me too! Mommy Diva, I hope you will not be too annoyed at me, but I thought mashing it all together might make it awfully bland. So I kept the potatoes in small chunks, and cut up the artichokes. I added the milk and butter, plus salt and coarse pepper. This is a pale dish, and the photographs were VERY hard to take!! First, it's winter where I am and I have to rely on electric lights and the camera flash. The camera flash is death to white foods!! I used strips of red pepper and a good sprinkle of paprika for colour, but the photos were really not up to standard: I apologise. I added coarse black pepper but apart from not mashing, did not change a thing. We had it with (posted for ZWT4) Pork Shops Sliven Style. Went very well together, They can drop me off at a desert island with only a bag of good potatoes!! Thanks, and please, for Eastern Europe I think 3 stars for such a comforting dish is great: it means we really liked it!!!

These are very good. I used 4 medium red potatoes instead of Idaho potatoes. I am not a big fan of mashed potatoes but these were worth making. They were easy to make. I had these with Skillet Tarragon Chicken they were really good together. They made a great Sunday dinner. Thanks for sharing your recipe Momma!! Made for the March 2008 Bevy Tag game.

I give it 4 stars cause at first I wasn't sure if I would like it. Cause I don't like antichoke. And for me, I tasted the antichokes. My baby of 23 months ate a little bit of these mashed potatoes. I think he liked it Thanks for posting MommyDiva

The artichokes add a nice flavor without making the mashed potatoes taste "artichok-y". DH and kids had no clue that artichokes were in here. I added a bit of sour cream just to give some extra creaminess. I think you could get away with 2 cans of artichokes if you really want to taste them. Great way to get some extra vitamins. I'll repeat this recipe. Thanx for posting it!
