It's ridiculous how good these are. Two of my favorite vegetables in
one dish. In the picture, this dish doesn't look all that exciting,
but it tastes wonderful. Definitely an easy way to dress up ordinary
mashed potatoes. I did things a little different than the recipe
states… I blended the artichoke hearts with a little milk in the
cup attachment of my Braun hand mixer and then folded the artichoke
puree into the potatoes that I had already mashed (with butter and
more milk) with a hand held potato masher. If you like your potatoes
a little creamier, use a hand mixer to whip the potatoes.

6 large Idaho Potatoes, peeled and quartered
1 (14oz can) artichoke hearts (non-marinated), drained
3 Tbsp butter
1/4 cup milk
Salt & pepper to taste

Boil potatoes for 15-20 minutes or until potatoes are tender when
pierced with a fork. Drain.

In a large mixing bowl, puree artichoke hearts with half the butter
and milk, using a hand blender or mixer. Add potatoes and remaining
butter and milk and mix until smooth. Add salt and pepper to taste.
