Smashed Yukon Gold Potatoes with Ranch and Sundried Tomato

It'll take you longer to say the name of this amazing dish than it will for you to actually make it! My boys love mashed potatoes, and I don't waiver very much when it comes to the ingredients. They like what they like. But, in this case, I chose Yukon gold potatoes for their creaminess, and added a hint of ranch and sundried tomato. Just enough to catapult the potatoes, without wiping them out!

Smashed Yukon Gold Potatoes with Ranch and Sundried Tomato

1 pound Yukon gold potatoes, peeled or unpeeled and cut into 2-inch chunks
1/4 cup milk
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons ranch dip mix
2 teaspoons sundried tomato paste
Salt and ground black pepper

Place the potatoes in a medium saucepan and pour over enough water to cover by about 2 inches. Bring the water to a boil. Boil for 10 minutes, until the potatoes are fork-tender. Drain and return the potatoes to the pot. Add the milk, butter, ranch dip, and sundried tomato paste and smash until you reach your desired level of smashed-ness (smooth or chunky).
Season to taste with salt and pepper.
