Rustic Mashed Potatoes

I like my mashed potatoes with the peel and with chunks of actual cooked potato (and only partly because I’m too lazy to peel them). This may not be a popular opinion, but super smooth mashed potatoes really freak me out— maybe it’s a texture thing or perhaps I just suck at making them. Who knows. So… I opt for a simpler “rustic” mashed potato dish!

These are also an excellent topper for my Leftover Turkey Pie!
