I've made mashed potatoes more times than I can count, but I've never thought to add lemon. This one ingredients brought my potatoes to a whole new level. The lemon makes this typically heavy potato dish, light and fresher than ever. I served this with a saucy brisket and it went together so well. I will definitely be making this version again!


You can use any herbs you want, but I opted for parsley, scallions, and thyme. Mint would be a lovely addition too! After the photos, I mixed in all the herbs vs sitting them on top. For more yummy side dish ideas, follow my Instagram @tikofoods.
