π½️✨ Pulled Pork Mashed Potatoes π½️✨
A Hug in a Bowl
Ingredients:
For the Mashed Potatoes:
π₯ 2 lbs potatoes (Yukon Gold or Russet)—peeled, cubed, and ready for action
π₯ 1/2 cup milk (or heavy cream if you’re feeling fancy)
π§ 4 tablespoons butter (because everything is better with butter)
π§ Salt and pepper (season like you mean it!)
π§ Optional: garlic powder or roasted garlic for that extra oomph
For the Pulled Pork:
π 2 lbs pork shoulder (or whatever cut makes you happy)
π₯ 1 cup barbecue sauce (store-bought or homemade—no judgment)
π§
1 onion, sliced (for that chef’s kiss flavor)
π§ Salt and pepper (you know the drill)
πΆ️ Optional: paprika, cumin, or chili powder if you like a little spice in your life
Instructions:
Step 1: Pulled Pork Party π
Slow Cooker Method:
Toss your pork into the slow cooker like a BBQ pro.
Season generously (because bland pork is a crime).
Add the onion slices like a true culinary artist.
Pour in the barbecue sauce and set it on low for 8 hours. Go live your life while magic happens.
Oven Method:
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C)—aka low and slow, baby!
Season the pork, throw it in a roasting pan with onions, and cover with foil like it’s getting tucked in for a nap.
Roast for 4 hours until it’s falling apart like your willpower at a dessert buffet.
Step 2: Mashed Potato Magic π₯✨
While your pork is doing its thing, grab a big pot and fill it with cold water.
Add the cubed potatoes and a pinch of salt—like a tiny potato spa.
Boil until fork-tender (about 15-20 minutes). No one likes a crunchy mashed potato.
Drain well, then return to the pot like nothing happened.
Add butter and milk, then mash like you’re venting your frustrations.
Season with salt, pepper, and optional garlic. Taste test... for quality control, of course.
Step 3: The Grand Finale π
Once the pork is ready, shred it with two forks like a BBQ master. Mix in extra sauce for that juicy goodness.
Plate up a big, fluffy scoop of mashed potatoes and pile on that glorious pulled pork.
Bonus Points: The Garnish Game π¨
Green onions for a pop of color

More BBQ sauce because, obviously
Now grab a fork, take a bite, and experience pure comfort food joy! ππ½️
