If you haven’t noticed yet … we like to have fun here at ZiggityZoom! And we had a ton of fun creating some Thanksgiving recipes that kids will love. One of our favorites, and our kid tester faves, is the chocolate mashed potatoes. This is a fun spin on a very traditional food that many families serve for Thanksgiving dinner.
For variety, we also made mashed sweet potatoes and plain white mashed potatoes to serve as three options, it might sound like a lot of trouble but it isn’t. We actually just made white potatoes, mashed and then divided those into two bowls, giving us both the plain and the chocolate, once the cocoa powder was mixed in.
Flavored Mashed Potatoes Recipe
Ingredients
- What you need:
- Sweet potatoes
- 3 medium sweet potatoes
- 2 Tbsp. creamer
- 2 Tbsp. maple syrup
- 1 Tbsp. brown sugar
- ½ Tsp. vanilla
- Red or white potatoes
- 6 Red potatoes or 3 medium white potatoes
- 3 Tbsp. milk
- 2 Tbsp. sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
- Sea salt to taste
- Chocolate flavored potatoes
- White potatoes (use a scoop of the above white mashed potatoes)
- 1 Tbsp. milk
- 1 Tsp. Hot chocolate mix
Instructions
- For each variation, peel and cube potatoes. Boil in water, until tender, about 20 minutes and then drain. To make the white potatoes peel and cube the white potatoes and boil in water until soft. Drain the water and mash the potatoes. Add ingredients as listed for each flavor and mix. Remember when mashing potatoes, that you need a thick enough consistency to “scoop”. Scoops can be formed with an ice cream scoop for a serving dish or for individual servings use a melon scoop.
- For the chocolate potatoes, use a portion of the cooked and mashed white potatoes and add the ingredients listed above for chocolate potatoes (ex. cocoa).
- For the orange potatoes- peel and cube sweet potatoes and boil in water until soft (boil them separate from the white potatoes). Drain the potatoes and mash. Add the above ingredients for the orange/sweet potatoes.
