Tips:

  • Use Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes: These varieties are best for mashing because they have a high starch content.
  • Peel the potatoes before boiling: This will help the potatoes cook evenly and prevent the skins from toughening.
  • Boil the potatoes in salted water: This will help to flavor the potatoes and make them more creamy.
  • Drain the potatoes well before mashing: This will help to prevent the potatoes from becoming watery.
  • Use a potato ricer or food mill to mash the potatoes: This will give you the smoothest and creamiest mashed potatoes.
  • Add butter and milk gradually: This will help to prevent the potatoes from becoming lumpy.
  • Season the mashed potatoes with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika: You can also add other herbs and spices to taste.
  • Top the mashed potatoes with shredded cheese, bacon bits, or chives: This will add extra flavor and texture.

Conclusion:

Smoky spicy mashed potatoes are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are creamy, flavorful, and have a nice smoky kick. These mashed potatoes are sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
