Steps:
- Peel potatoes and rinse in cold water (cut potatoes in half if very large). If you want the smoothest potatoes possible, remove the little knots from the potatoes with a small spoon or the tip of a potatoes peeler. Place potatoes in a large pot (5 Qt+) and cover potatoes with cold water. Bring to a boil and cook partially covered until easily pierced with a knife (boil 20-25 min depending on the size of your potatoes; mine took 22 min).
- Drain well and transfer to the bowl of your stand mixer. Grab the whisk attachment and mash potatoes lightly by hand to break them up. Fit mixer with whisk attachment and start on low speed 30 sec then increase to medium and slowly drizzle in 1 to 1 1/4 cups of the HOT milk to reach your desired texture.
- With mixer on, add softened butter 1 Tbsp at a time, waiting a few seconds between each addition. Potatoes will be whipped and fluffy. Finally add 1 1/2 tsp salt, or add to taste.

1. Start with high-quality potatoes - Different types of potatoes have different starch content. For fluffy mashed potatoes, choose a variety that is high in starch, such as Russet or Yukon Gold. 2. Simmer potatoes until tender - Overcooking potatoes can make them gummy. To achieve the perfect consistency, simmer them in salted water until they are easily pierced with a fork. 3. Drain potatoes thoroughly - Excess water can make mashed potatoes runny. Drain potatoes well before mashing to ensure a creamy texture. 4. Use hot milk and butter - Cold ingredients can make mashed potatoes lumpy. Heat milk and butter until hot before adding them to the potatoes. 5. Season to taste - Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings according to your taste preferences. Fresh herbs, such as parsley, chives, or dill, can also add flavor. 6. Make mashed potatoes ahead of time - Mashed potatoes can be made up to 3 days in advance. Simply reheat them over low heat until warmed through. 7. Serve mashed potatoes with a variety of toppings - Mashed potatoes are a versatile dish that can be served with a variety of toppings, such as gravy, roasted garlic, crumbled bacon, or cheese.Conclusion:
With these tips in mind, you can create creamy, flavorful mashed potatoes that are the perfect accompaniment to any meal. So next time you're looking for a comforting and satisfying dish, give these recipes a try. You won't be disappointed!
