  • Add butter and milk gradually: Gradually adding butter and milk will help you control the consistency of your mashed potatoes. Start with a small amount and add more until you reach the desired consistency.
  • Season to taste: Season your mashed potatoes with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices to taste. You can also add cheese, bacon, chives, or other toppings of your choice.
