Use Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes: These varieties are best for mashing because they have a high starch content, which makes them creamy and smooth.
Peel the potatoes before boiling: This will help the potatoes cook evenly and prevent the skins from becoming tough.
Boil the potatoes in salted water: This will help to flavor the potatoes and prevent them from becoming bland.
Drain the potatoes thoroughly: This will help to prevent the potatoes from becoming watery.
Mash the potatoes until smooth: Use a potato masher or a ricer to achieve a smooth and creamy texture.
Add butter, milk, and seasonings to taste: Start with a small amount of each ingredient and add more to taste.
Garnish the mashed potatoes with fresh herbs or grated cheese: This will add a pop of color and flavor.
