I am a meat and potatoes girl through and through. It is probably because I grew up in a meat and potatoes house. One of my favorite versions of potatoes as a side was mashed potatoes. I loved it when momma would make them. Fast forward to me having a family of my own. My lil guy loves mashed potatoes as much as his mommy.

Garlic Ranch Crock Pot Mashed Potatoes

Brace yourself, I not only meal planned this week, but I even made up some of my own recipes! These Garlic Ranch Crock Pot Mashed Potatoes went PERFECTLY with these Crock Pot Savory Pork Cutlets. Oh. My. Yum. I had a blast starting with an idea, adding a little bit of this and a little bit of that until it was just right!

I love garlic, and I love ranch. Now I know that ranch has garlic in it, but this recipe also has fresh garlic in it, so it just works well together! Ryder was helping me taste test. He reminded me so much of his daddy when he tried the finished product. His eyes got great big, and I got a “This is SO yummy mommy!” 🙂
