Steps:
- 1 Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). 2 Prick unpeeled potatoes in several places and place on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until very tender, from 1 to 1¼ hours. Set aside until cool enough to handle. Then peel or scoop flesh out of skins and cut into chunks. 3 Pulse potatoes in a food processor along with butter, garlic, salt and pinches of paprika and cayenne until as smooth as you like. Or put potatoes through a food mill or mash; then mix in butter, garlic, salt and seasonings. Stir in basil. Taste and add more butter, salt or basil if needed. If not being served right away, potatoes can be left at room temperature for a couple of hours; or refrigerate them, covered, for up to 2 days. Warm in the microwave or an oven dish.
Tips:
- For the best results, use Yukon Gold or russet potatoes. These varieties are starchy and will mash smoothly.
- Peel the potatoes before boiling them. This will help them cook evenly.
- Boil the potatoes in salted water. This will help them retain their flavor.
- Mash the potatoes with a potato ricer or food mill for the smoothest texture.
- Add the milk, butter, and seasonings to the potatoes while they are still hot. This will help them absorb the flavors.
- Garnish the mashed potatoes with fresh basil and Parmesan cheese before serving.
