  • While potatoes are simmering, bring milk, butter, salt, and pepper just to a simmer, stirring until butter is melted.

  • If desired, serve potatoes drizzled with some of remaining oil.

Tips:

  • For a creamy and smooth mashed potato, use a ricer or food mill to remove any lumps.
  • If you don't have a ricer or food mill, mash the potatoes with a potato masher until they are smooth.
  • Add the milk and butter to the potatoes while they are still hot, so that they can absorb the liquid and become fluffy.
  • Season the potatoes to taste with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  • For a more flavorful mashed potato, add some herbs, such as chives, parsley, or thyme.
  • If you want a crispy topping on your mashed potatoes, sprinkle some Parmesan cheese or bread crumbs on top before baking.
