Tips for Perfect Mashed Potatoes:
- Use the Right Potatoes: Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes are the best choices for creamy, fluffy mashed potatoes.
- Cook Potatoes Properly: Boil the potatoes in salted water until they are tender but not mushy. Drain well and return to the pot to steam off excess water.
- Mash Potatoes Thoroughly: Use a potato ricer or masher to achieve a smooth and lump-free texture. Avoid over-mashing, as this can make the potatoes gluey.
- Add Milk, Butter, and Seasonings Gradually: Start with a small amount of milk and butter, and add more as needed to achieve your desired consistency. Season with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices to taste.
- Keep Potatoes Warm: Cover the mashed potatoes and keep them warm until ready to serve. You can also reheat them gently over low heat or in the microwave.
