Ingredients
- 4 large potatoes Yukon Gold or similar
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup warm milk or cream
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Optional: chopped parsley
Instructions
Peel and Cut Potatoes
- Peel the potatoes and cut into equal chunks. This helps them cook evenly. Try to keep the pieces similar in size for best results.
Boil the Potatoes
- Place potatoes in a large pot. Add cold water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook for 15 minutes until soft and tender.
Drain the Potatoes
- Drain the cooked potatoes using a strainer. Let them sit for a minute. This removes extra moisture and helps create a fluffy texture.
Mash the Potatoes
- Use a potato masher or ricer. Mash the potatoes until smooth. Do not overmix. This prevents the potatoes from becoming sticky or gummy.
Heat Butter and Milk
- In a small saucepan, warm the butter and milk together. Do not boil. Warm liquid blends better with potatoes and keeps them smooth.
Mix Everything Together
- Pour warm butter and milk into mashed potatoes. Mix gently with a spoon. Add salt and pepper. Stir until creamy and well combined.
Adjust Texture and Serve
- Check the texture. Add more milk if needed. Serve hot and garnish with parsley if desired. Enjoy soft and creamy mashed potatoes.
Notes
- Use starchy potatoes like Yukon Gold
- Always start with cold water for even cooking
- Warm milk before adding to potatoes
- Mash while potatoes are hot
- Do not overmix to avoid gluey texture
- Add butter for rich flavor
