This creamy mashed potato is a little bit rich, but if that’s what you’re into– this could be your favourite mashed potato you’ve ever tried. 

This is a favourite for Best Recipe because it uses cheap, everyday potatoes you can pick up at any major Australian grocer (like Woolworths, Coles, or ALDI).

This easy mashed potatoes recipe has a not-so-secret ingredient that brings it to another level… it’s sour cream! The sour cream adds both the creaminess that you want in a mash while enhancing the other flavours and spices in it already. 

Is it cheating to include mashed sweet potatoes on this list? If it is… so be it, because these mashed sweet potatoes are delicious. With the signature touch of cinnamon, the richness of the sweet potato isn’t too overpowering but still packs a delicious punch.

Bon Appetit is an absolute institution when it comes to recipes that impress. The only trouble is that occasionally some of the ingredients have to be substituted as the recipes aren’t usually Australian. 

If you thought mashed potatoes were just a basic side dish, you might’ve been wrong. The Food Network’s Bacon-Cheddar Mashed Potatoes recipe adds a salty, fatty, delicious touch with bacon sprinkled throughout the mash.

It’s next-level, and just about makes for a whole meal, and if you’re concerned about your fat intake, simply reduce the amount of butter (because bacon has enough oil in it regardless).

Food wastage is a serious problem across Australia. Because of that, it’s important to just make what you want to eat to avoid throwing away all of that hard work (and everything else).

A rustic, comforting side dish, these parmesan-infused mashed potatoes add that dollop of sweetness with that parmesan kick we all know and love. After testing, Best Recipe can happily confirm that a freshly grated block of Parmigiano Reggiano would be best for this recipe. You can find them at ALDI, Coles, and Woolworths in the cheese section. 

The best mashed potatoes can occasionally be vegan, believe it or not! These vegan mashed potatoes from Minimalist Baker avoid milk and cream and use dairy-free butter. But, if you’re concerned it won’t be creamy… don’t be. These mashed potatoes for vegans are just as creamy as any other recipe on this list.
