kcalThese cheesy garlic mashed potatoes are smooth, rich, and full of flavor thanks to tender boiled potatoes, cooked-in garlic, buttery milk, and melty cheese.
Ingredients
3 lbs red potatoes, washed and scrubbed
(Yukon Gold or russet potatoes also work)
Water, for boiling
Salt, to taste
6 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
Garlic powder
Onion powder
Black pepper (white pepper can be used if preferred)
1 cup whole milk
½ cup butter, room temperature
7 oz gouda cheese, freshly shredded
Fresh parsley, optional garnish
Directions
- Cut the washed and scrubbed potatoes into quarters. Add them to a large pot and cover with water.
- Add a little salt to the pot and bring to a boil. Cook until the potatoes are very soft and easily break apart.
- While the potatoes are boiling, add the chopped garlic cloves directly into the pot so they cook along with the potatoes.
- Once fully cooked, drain the potatoes and garlic well. Mash lightly to break everything up.
- Add garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Mix gently.
- Pour in the whole milk and add the butter. Mash and mix until the potatoes start becoming creamy.
- Stir in the shredded gouda cheese and mix until fully melted and incorporated.
- Taste the mashed potatoes and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.
- Optional fluffy finish: For an extra fluffy mashed potatoes, use a stand mixer with the whisk attachment and whip for a few seconds.
- Garnish with parsley and an extra pat of butter if desired. Serve warm.

kcalThese sweet chili jerk chicken thighs are deeply seasoned, oven-baked until tender, and finished with a sticky glaze made from sweet chili sauce, honey, and jerk seasoning.
Ingredients
6–8 bone-in, skinless chicken thighs
Lemon juice (for washing)
1 tbs All-purpose seasoning
Chicken bouillon
3 tbs Grace Jerk Seasoning (Hot)
1 tbs brown stew seasoning
1 tbs Complete seasoning
1/2 tsp Black pepper
1 cup Sweet Chili Glaze
1 tbs Jerk seasoning
1 tbs Honey
Directions
- Wash the chicken thighs with lemon juice and rinse well. Remove the skin if not already removed. Score the thighs a few times so the seasoning can penetrate deeply into the meat.
- Add the chicken to a large bowl. Season with all-purpose seasoning, chicken bouillon, Grace Jerk Seasoning (Hot), brown stew seasoning, complete seasoning, and black pepper. Mix well until every piece is fully coated.
- Cover the bowl and let the chicken marinate for 4–6 hours. If time allows, marinate overnight for best flavor.
- In a small bowl, combine sweet chili sauce, jerk seasoning, and honey. Mix until smooth and set aside.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the marinated chicken thighs into a baking dish, leaving space between each piece. Bake uncovered for 30 minutes.
- Remove the chicken from the oven. Brush generously with the sweet chili glaze, flip the thighs, and spoon some of the leftover marinade over the chicken to refresh the flavor.
- Return the chicken to the oven and bake for 45 minutes.
- Remove chicken again, glaze one last time with the sweet chili sauce, then place back into the oven for 10 minutes.
- Let the chicken rest briefly before serving. Do not discard the sauce at the bottom of the pan — spoon it over the chicken for extra moisture and flavor.
This sweet chili jerk chicken thighs and buttery red skin mashed potatoes combo is a dinner that just makes sense. It’s comforting, flavorful, and feels complete without needing a long list of sides.
The bold, sticky chicken pairs perfectly with the creamy potatoes, giving you that balance of heat and richness that makes a meal truly satisfying.
