Have I mentioned how amazing The Pioneer Woman's recipes are? Seriously. If you want fool proof delicious down home cooking, PW is where it's at. Her stuff is amazing and after I made her mashed potatoes my husband looked at me and said not only were they the best mashed potatoes I've made ever, but that this was the only recipe I would be following from here on out. Let me state here that while I did use PW's recipe I made a bunch of changes to cut down on the fat, I'm sure her's were amazing but my waistline just couldn't justify that much butter.
I saw PW make this on her show and decided that I just had to make them, so I decided to pair them with another one of my favorite recipes - meatball spiedini. For those who are not familiar with spiedini and want to tell me that they look just like a meatball, I tell you that's pretty much what they are. Chicken spiedini, which is a recipe I will put up soon is essentially small pieces of chicken bread and skewered and then baked, meatball spiedini however at the end of the day still look like a meatball though they are a far cry from your grandmothers meatballs in sauce.
The taste however, is what sets them apart. They are delicious and paired with PW's mashed potatoes this is a recipe to celebrate. So much so that I forgot to make a vegetable that night or add a little color to my plate....but hey potatoes count..right?
