The secret ingredient

Have you ever had a dish that pretty much everyone you know loves, so you can't help feeling bad that you secretly despise it? That's how I feel about mashed potatoes. Okay, despise might be a bit of an overstatement, but I don't think I've ever made them for dinner, and at holiday meals I either avoid them or take only a small portion to be polite.

But that has all changed.

Today I discovered a recipe for mashed potatoes that uses one simple ingredient that completely changed my view towards mashed potatoes: Lawry's seasoning salt.

Honestly, if you are like me and you find pretty much every mashed potato recipe bland and uninteresting, you have to try adding seasoning salt! I'm confident that mashed potatoes will now begin showing up regularly on dinner menus at the Cohen casa.

Here's what I'm serving with the mashed potatoes: a good old fashioned pot roast. Can you say comfort food??
