Mashed potatoes bring me straight back to childhood. I can still feel the excitement bubbling whenever a whiff of that unmistakable aroma wafted through our home. I could’ve eaten them daily—I wouldn’t have minded one bit. The creaminess of the potatoes, punctuated with the tang of buttermilk and the subtle bite of garlic, was pure comfort on a plate.
