Mashed Potatoes

Hey girls

Can you give me your favorite mashed potato recipe. I honestly have never made mashed potatoes!

Thank you!!

Re: Mashed Potatoes

So easy to make.
I peel and cut up yukon gold potatoes, rinse to get rid of extra starch. Into a pot with cold water and salt. Boil until tender - takes about 10 minutes after the pot comes to a boil.
Drain the potatoes, put back on the heat for a little bit to dry them out, shaking pan so they don't burn.
Mash or use a ricer, add hot milk and butter to the desired texture, salt to taste (I don't like pepper).

Some variations to my basic :
half n' half instead of milk
roasted garlic
dollop of sour cream (makes really soft mashed potato) and snipped chives

I agree w/ PP - you need to cook the potatoes in cold water to start so they cook evenly. While I'm draining the potatoes, I usually warm the milk and butter so I don't use another pot.

I love adding a whole head of roasted garlic. Not much of a plain mashed potatoe girl!

Best recipe, I make it every year. In baking dish, add layer of mashed potatoes. Next add layer of mozzarella. Add another layer of potatoes. Top with butter and breadcrumbs. Bake at 375 until top is golden. It's to die for
