Smoky & Cheesy Buttermilk Baked Mashed Potatoes
Mashed potatoes might be one of the best foods in the entire world, no? My oldest son would certainly agree. The kid could eat this stuff by the bowlfuls every single day and be the happiest kid alive, lol!
Just wait until you try a bite of these smoky, cheesy mashed potatoes. I used a variety of McCormick’s Gourmet Spices (I am working with McCormick Gourmet, see my disclosure at the end of this post), which kicks this potato recipe up a many notches 🙂 …..and it is a breeze to whip up for any weeknight dinner. Please take a peek; you will want to try this one 🙂 Enjoy!
Here’s your line up. Those were massive potatoes, about 3 pounds.
Have I mentioned how much I love my collection of spices? Seriously, my life would not be complete without them. That smoked paprika to the right has made the best recipes, I LOVE it!
Gorgeous 🙂

Buttermilk time 🙂

I love these mashed potatoes, I make them often. If I don’t have buttermilk I substitute whole milk. I may have left a review already, can’t remember!!
This is one of those recipes that I pinned and forgot about, until I was scrolling through looking for a side dish. I am so sad that I left this recipe in the “vault” for so long..it was incredible and we will be having it routinely. Thanks so much for a super recipe!!
This recipe was the guideline for the best mashed potatoes I’ve ever had in my entire life! By accident I used onion salt instead of garlic salt so I added some garlic powder to make up for the flavor. Also, I didn’t have buttermilk so I used whole milk. I love to cook, and have made a plethora of fantastic mashed potato recipes, this by far was the best ever! Thank you so much…:)
Wonderful! Thanks for the feedback Cindy!
IMO your disclosure is just more evidence that some of best recipes come from flavour developers like you. Hey, our absolute favourite rib recipe is from McCormick’s ad in Bon Appetit: not sure of the name but it uses McC’s chipotle chili pow. The recipe calls for it to be done slowly in the oven — which I do in cool weather — but with the rub applied and let set then slow-cooked on a gas bbq, it is just as good — in the summer! (Wouldn’t be surprised if that isn’t your creation!!)
I always spice up my mashed potatoes, but this recipe looks fabulous! I can’t wait to try it!
I made these for Christmas and absolutely love this recipe! (Found it on Pinterest where I’m pretty skeptical about a lot of the recipes, tips and advice people place there.) I’m not much of a cook, so I’m so grateful you posted this recipe that’s just a few steps up from the typical mashed potatoes. Thanks Jenny!
Nice post. I was watching continuously this site and I’m impressed! Extremely useful info especially the last part I care for such info much. I was looking for this particular information for a long time. Thankyou and best of luck.
I made these tonight and took them to a friend’s house. I popped them in the oven while he cooked the steaks. He asked if I wanted any to take home. He kept all the leftovers. I loved the smoked paprika. I might add a smidge more the next time. Thanks!
I read your blog regularly and have made (and loved) a few of your recipes. I just tried this one last night and they were AMAZING. These will definitely be a staple for future meals.
