Tips:
- Use Yukon Gold potatoes: These potatoes have a thin skin and a creamy, buttery flavor that makes them perfect for mashed potatoes.
- Boil the potatoes until they are very tender: This will ensure that they are easy to mash and will result in a smooth, creamy texture.
- Drain the potatoes well: This will help to prevent the mashed potatoes from being watery.
- Use a potato ricer or a food mill to mash the potatoes: This will give you the smoothest, creamiest mashed potatoes.
- Add the milk, butter, and Parmesan cheese gradually: This will help to prevent the mashed potatoes from becoming too thick or too thin.
- Season the mashed potatoes to taste: Be sure to add enough salt and pepper to taste. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
- Serve the mashed potatoes immediately: Mashed potatoes are best served hot and fresh.
