Steps:
- Peel and cut potatoes into a ½-inch dice. To prevent potatoes from wobbling as you dice, cut a flat base for the potato to rest on as you make your slices. (Note: Potatoes can be peeled and diced 1 day in advance. Store completely submerged in cold water in the refrigerator, changing the water every few hours to prevent browning.) Place potatoes in a pot filled with cold salted water (as "salty as the sea"). Bring to a boil over high heat, 6-8 minutes. Once boiling, reduce to a simmer and cook until fork-tender but not falling apart, 15-20 minutes.
- Drain the potatoes in a colander, then add back to the pot. Turn heat to low and let the potatoes release additional moisture, 1-2 minutes. Turn off the heat.Transfer potatoes to a large bowl. Work all the potatoes through the ricer and back into the pot.
- With the pot over low heat, gently fold in butter and sour cream, mixing just enough to melt and incorporate; overmixing will result in a gluey texture. Add the milk a splash at a time, gently mixing to incorporate; repeat until you reach your desired consistency. (You may have milk left over.) Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer to serving bowl; garnish with extra butter and/or freshly chopped chives, optional. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Peel the potatoes and rinse them in cold water. Chop the potatoes in fourths. Place the potatoes into a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook until fork tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Drain the potatoes, and then return them to the pan. With the burner on low heat, mash the potatoes with a potato masher; the more steam that's released while you mash, the better. Mash for about 5 minutes. Turn off the burner.
- Add the butter, cream cheese, half-and-half, and seasonings. Stir to combine, and if the mixture needs thinning, add milk. Check the seasonings, adding salt and pepper, to taste.
- Pour the mashed potatoes into a large casserole pan. Dot the surface with butter. Cover with foil and bake in the oven for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking for 10 more minutes. Serve immediately.
CREAMY MASHED YUKON GOLD POTATOES
Yellow-fleshed potatoes have a rich, almost buttery taste. If you like a slightly tangy edge to your mash, substitute buttermilk for the milk. You can also embellish these by adding a whole heap of fresh herbs (up to 1/2 cup each of chopped parsley and basil) and some toasted pine nuts, too.

Steps:
- Put the potatoes and garlic in a large saucepan and cover with cold water by at least an inch. Add a generous 1/2 teaspoon salt and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to maintain a steady simmer, cover the pot partially, and cook until the potatoes are quite tender when tested with a metal skewer, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Drain the potatoes and garlic - reserving some of the cooking water - and dump them back into the pan. Dry the potatoes over medium heat, shaking the pan and stirring until the potatoes look floury and leave a light film on the bottom of the pan.
- If using a ricer, dump the potatoes into a bowl and then rice them back into the pot set over very low heat. If using a hand masher, mash them in the pot until completely smooth.
- Using a wooden spoon, beat in the butter and then beat in the hot milk in 1/4-cup increments. If the potatoes are still too thick, beat in a bit of the cooking water until they reach the consistency you want. Season well with salt and pepper and serve right away.

Steps:
- Fill large pot pretty full with hot, salted water.
- Cover, and bring to a rolling boil.
- Peel potatoes, and boil in water until soft.
- Drain water from potatoes, and add milk, butter, and salt (pepper too, if you wish) Mash potatoes until creamy.
- Serve and enjoy!
Tips:
- For a creamier texture, use Yukon Gold potatoes, which are known for their smooth and fluffy texture.
- To prevent the potatoes from becoming watery, do not overcook them. Cook just until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Drain the potatoes well before mashing. Any excess water will make the mashed potatoes gluey.
- Use a potato ricer or a food mill to get the smoothest mashed potatoes. A regular masher can leave lumps.
- Add the milk and butter gradually, and beat until the desired consistency is reached. Over-beating can make the mashed potatoes gummy.
- Season the mashed potatoes to taste with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as chives, parsley, or rosemary.
- Serve the mashed potatoes immediately, or keep them warm in a slow cooker or a warm oven until ready to serve.
Conclusion:
Creamy Yukon mashed potatoes are a classic side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of main courses. They are simple to make and can be customized to your liking. With these tips, you can make the perfect creamy Yukon mashed potatoes every time.
