I like to flip through my collection of cookbooks sometimes to get inspired for new dinner recipes. One of my favorite cooks that I look to is Sandra Lee and her book called "Semi-Homemade". I'd like to think that in my own way I mirror her approach to meals. In flipping through the book my husband stopped me on the page that had a picture of Steak Pinwheels with Sun Dried Tomato Stuffing! You can go to the link below to view her recipe.

Or get the book on amazon
So I decided it was test worthy and here is what the end result looked like!Now I did not use her recipe for the mashed potatoes. I made my own from real potatoes.
(recipe is below)
I officially give this recipe 2 thumbs up. It was delicious and filling. Plus it was easy to make!
Now for my addition
Sour Cream and Parmesan Cheese Mashed Potatoes!
Ingredients:
6 peeled russet potatoes (red potatoes are great too!)
3 Tablespoons of Butter or Margarine
1 Tablespoon minced garlic
1/4 cup sour cream ( I use fat free sour cream)
1 teaspoon of parsley
2-3 Tablespoons of milk (non or low- fat)
2 Tablespoons of grated parmesan cheese
Salt and Pepper to taste
Boil the potatoes until fork tender. I usually cut the potatoes in small pieces so they cook faster.
Drain the water (do not rinse under cold water, you need them to stay warm and yummy), then smash them up. Add the butter, garlic, parsley, sour cream, milk, and parmesan cheese. Mix it up and your done! I usually sprinkle the top of the potatoes with a little more parmesan cheese and parsley.
I estimate this gives you about 4 hearty servings, but that depends on your love of mashed potatoes.
Overall the dinner was delicious and I plan on making it again.
Sneak Trick: to save money on this meal I bought carne asada steak instead, since it's usually on sale you can do this swap too!
Have a flavorful day! -Amber
