Tips:
- For fluffy mashed potatoes, start with cold potatoes and cook them in cold water. This will help the potatoes absorb more water and become lighter and fluffier.
- Don't overcook the potatoes. Overcooked potatoes will become gummy and lose their flavor.
- Mash the potatoes immediately after draining them. This will help prevent them from becoming lumpy.
- Use a potato ricer or food mill to get the smoothest mashed potatoes. This will remove any lumps and create a creamy texture.
- Add butter, milk, and cream to taste. The amount you add will depend on how rich and creamy you want your mashed potatoes to be.
- Season the mashed potatoes with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as rosemary, thyme, or sage.
- Serve the mashed potatoes immediately. They can be garnished with chopped fresh herbs, grated cheese, or crumbled bacon.
