Creamy Mashed Potatoes
Smooth, buttery, and comforting—this classic teaches texture control and proper mashing technique.
Directions
-
Boil the Potatoes: Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold salted water. Bring to a boil and cook for 15–20 minutes, or until fork-tender.
-
Drain & Dry: Drain well and return potatoes to the hot pot for 1–2 minutes to remove excess moisture.
-
Mash Smoothly: Mash using a potato masher or ricer for extra smooth texture.
-
Add Butter & Milk: Stir in butter first, then gradually add warm milk until creamy and smooth.
-
Season & Serve: Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm as a comforting side dish.
