Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes are the best choices for mashed potatoes, as they are both starchy and flavorful.
- Cook the potatoes properly: Boil the potatoes until they are tender, but not mushy. Overcooked potatoes will make your mashed potatoes gluey.
- Mash the potatoes thoroughly: Use a potato masher or ricer to mash the potatoes until they are smooth and creamy. Lumpy mashed potatoes are not as appealing.
- Season the mashed potatoes to taste: Add salt, pepper, butter, and milk to taste. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or herbs.
- Bake the mashed potatoes in muffin tins: This is a great way to create individual servings of mashed potatoes that are perfect for parties or potlucks. You can also top the mashed potatoes with cheese, bacon, or other toppings before baking.
