Description
Sink your fork into these rich, creamy, and utterly irresistible Mashed Potatoes. Whipped to perfection with just a few simple ingredients, this recipe delivers restaurant-quality results with minimal effort.
Ingredients
– 3 lbs russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
– 1 cup whole milk
– 8 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
– 1 tsp salt
– 1/2 tsp black pepper
Instructions
1. 1. Place the cubed potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water by 1 inch.
2. 2. Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 15-20 minutes, until the potatoes are very tender when pierced with a fork.
3. 3. Drain the potatoes in a colander and return them to the hot pot for 1 minute to evaporate any remaining moisture.
4. 4. Add the milk and butter to the potatoes and mash with a potato masher or ricer until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper.
5. 5. Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
For extra-creamy mashed potatoes, use a ricer instead of a masher. You can also add in grated cheese, sour cream, or chives for extra flavor. Leftover mashed potatoes can be refrigerated for up to 5 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
