One-Pot Red-Skinned Mashed Potatoes: Creamy, Cozy & Perfectly Seasoned

If there’s one side dish that brings comfort to any table, it’s a bowl of warm, fluffy mashed potatoes. But these aren’t just any mashed potatoes — these are rich, creamy, one-pot Red-Skinned Mashed Potatoes made the Birdy & Pretzels way: buttery, tangy, perfectly seasoned, and topped with melting pats of butter and a sprinkle of dried parsley.

Rustic. Cozy. Zero extra dishes.
These are the mashed potatoes everyone goes back for.

what makes these mashed potatoes special?

It all starts with red-skinned potatoes, which give a naturally creamy texture and lovely color — and yes, we leave the skins right on for rustic charm and less prep.

Then comes the good stuff:

  • Sour cream for bright tang

  • Heavy whipping cream for luxurious smoothness

  • Milk to loosen everything to the perfect texture

  • Butter, because comfort requires commitment

  • Birdy & Pretzels SPG for simple, spot-on seasoning

The combination creates mashed potatoes that are velvety but never heavy, boldly flavored but still classic — the kind of mash that instantly feels like home.

the best part? it's a one-pot dish

No straining into separate bowls. No extra pans. No juggling.

You boil your potatoes, mash them right in the same pot, and fold in all your creamy ingredients over the warm heat so everything melts together beautifully.

Less cleanup, more flavor, and a smoother mash thanks to the warm pot environment. One pot = pure convenience.
