NomEatNom - Avocado Mashed Potatoes

Ask, and you shall receive!!

That’s right.

You see, things have been super busy in the NomEatNom household, so while I’ve been cooking up a storm, I haven’t been able to keep up with posting everything…so I’ve had a slight overflow of recipe posts “waiting in the wings.” I asked our fellow NOMsters on Facebook which recipe they’d like to see next, and Avocado Mashed Potatoes was crowned the victor! Which worked out just perfectly for you, because I just know you are going to love them! 😉

First, let me warn you: prepare yourself for extreme creaminess!

Seriously.

I know, I know, I shouldn’t be surprised. The truth is, after seeing the hefty dose of moist lusciousness that avocado brought to the table in our Dark Chocolate Avocado Pancakes, I did indeed expect these mashed potatoes to be extra creamy. Even still, I wasn’t the least bit prepared for the smooth, velvety goodness wrapped up in these flavorful potatoes!
