Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or russet potatoes are best for this recipe, as they're both starchy and flavorful. Avoid waxy potatoes like red potatoes, as they won't mash as well.
- Don't overcook the potatoes: The potatoes should be cooked until they're tender but still hold their shape. Overcooked potatoes will be mushy and difficult to mash.
- Use plenty of butter and milk: The butter and milk will help to make the potatoes creamy and flavorful. Don't skimp on these ingredients!
- Season the potatoes well: Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all essential seasonings for mashed potatoes. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as chives, parsley, or rosemary.
- Mash the potatoes until they're smooth and creamy: Use a potato masher or a ricer to mash the potatoes until they're smooth and creamy. Avoid using a blender or food processor, as this will make the potatoes gluey.
