KITTENCAL'S FLUFFY MASHED POTATOES
Boiling the potatoes in broth instead of water creates a wonderful flavor but you may of coarse use only water or half of each --- use only russets or Yukon gold potatoes for this and once the potatoes are peeled do not slice them leave whole when cooking this will prevent the potatoes from absorbing too mush water, making for a better texture when mashing --- for extra flavor I most always add in 1 teaspoon onion powder and you may also add in some roasted garlic is desired or some garlic powder--- all amounts may be increased or adjusted to taste.

KITTENCAL'S BAKED CHEESY MASHED POTATO PATTIES/CROQUETTES
Since I make these all the time I really don't even bother to measure, the ingredient amounts listed are close to the amounts I usually use you can adjust the amounts to taste, I have left the Parmesan as optional I like to add it in --- for the best texture the potatoes must be russet and they should be oven-baked --- I have use panko in place of the butter crackers but I think the crackers give a better taste --- yield is only estimated depending on the size you make the croquettes --- you may make the mashed potato mixture up to 24 hours in advance and refrigerate until ready to roll and bake ----- you will love these!

Tips:
- For creamy mashed potatoes, use starchy potatoes like Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes.
- Do not overcook the potatoes. Overcooked potatoes will become gluey and lose their flavor.
- Drain the potatoes thoroughly before mashing. Excess water will make the potatoes watery and less flavorful.
- Use a potato ricer for a smoother, creamier texture.
- Add butter, milk, cream, or sour cream for a richer flavor.
- Season the mashed potatoes with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices to taste.
- For a cheesy mashed potato variation, add grated cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, or cream cheese.
- For a loaded mashed potato variation, add cooked bacon, crumbled sausage, or chopped vegetables.
- Mashed potatoes can be made ahead of time and reheated. To reheat, place the mashed potatoes in a microwave-safe bowl and heat on high for 2-3 minutes, or until heated through.
