Best Mashed Potatoes

lb. potatoes (about 4 large, combo of russets and Yukon Golds)

Kosher salt

butter,

c. milk

sour cream

black pepper

So good! I don’t typically like sour cream on its own but it was a huge improvement for basic mashed potatoes. Will definitely be making this again.

Love this recipe! Easy to make and delicious

I cooked 4 potatoes like the recipe said and when i added the milk and the butter the potatoes turned into a liquid so i baked them with mexican cheese.

These were perfect! A total win for everyone in the family, even kids. I added scallions because I had them on hand. I will keep this recipe forever.

Best recipe ever!! My family and I absolutely loved them.

Love this recipe just as it is. If you don't want a lot of salt and butter in your life, eat something else. These are perfect and will impress your guests.

Mashed Potatoes

medium Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes* (, peeled,

butter (, room temperature)

chicken bouillon paste* ((optional))

salt and black pepper (, to taste)

Cook Potatoes: Cut potatoes in half and place in a large pot with about 4 inches of water (they don&#39;t need to be completely covered). Cover pot with a lid, and cook, covered, until fork tender, about 15-20 minutes. You don&#39;t want them &quot;mushy&quot; or falling apart.

Drain and steam: Drain water completely from pot and leave potatoes in the pot, covered with a lid, for about 10 minutes. This gives them time to dry out, which helps them to be extra fluffy.

Season: Remove lid and add butter, chicken bouillon, evaporated milk, sour cream and salt and pepper.

Mash with a potato masher. Taste and add more salt and pepper, if needed, or more milk, until they are creamy, fluffy and smooth. I use an electric mixer to beat them on medium speed for a few seconds, until light and fluffy. But, be careful not to over-mix them or they will get starchy and gummy.

kosher salt to salt water

Russet potatoes (about 4)

milk

salted butter (1/2 pound)**

white pepper

garlic powder

**If you use unsalted butter potatoes

Fill a 5-6 quart pot half full of cold water.

Peel the potatoes and as you peel them, place them in the cold water.

After all the potatoes are peeled, remove them one at a time and cut the Russet into 1-inch sized pieces and the yellow into ½-inch sized pieces. (The Russet cook quicker than the yellow so cutting the yellow smaller will assure that all the cut potatoes cook at the same time.)

As you cut them, put them back into the water. If needed, add more water so they are covered.

Add 2 teaspoons of kosher salt and bring to a boil. Time ten minutes then check one with a fork and if done, pour into a colander to drain. Ours took exactly ten minutes.

While potatoes are cooking place milk or cream along with butter, pepper and garlic powder in a small sauce pan and heat just until butter melts. Do not boil. Remove from heat.

Pour cooked potatoes back into the pot and place the pot back over high heat and stir with a wooden spoon until any liquid on the bottom evaporates, about 30 seconds to one minute, no longer.

Off heat, add the contents of the sauce pan to the potatoes (no additional salt is needed) and mash using a potato masher to your desired consistency. We like ours with small lumps.

Excellent recipe and excellent advice. I’ve done this several times and have past this on to others.
