Tips:
- Select the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes are ideal for mashed potatoes because they have a smooth and creamy texture when cooked.
- Boil potatoes in salted water: Adding salt to the water helps to enhance the flavor of the potatoes.
- Drain potatoes thoroughly: Before mashing the potatoes, make sure to drain them thoroughly to remove excess water. This will prevent the potatoes from becoming too watery.
- Use a potato ricer: A potato ricer is the best tool for creating smooth and creamy mashed potatoes. If you don't have a potato ricer, you can use a food mill or a potato masher.
- Add milk and butter gradually: When adding milk and butter to the mashed potatoes, do it gradually and in small increments. This will help you to achieve the desired consistency.
- Season to taste: Season the mashed potatoes with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add herbs like parsley, chives, or rosemary.
- Add mix-ins: To add extra flavor and texture to the mashed potatoes, you can add mix-ins like roasted peppers, corn, or cheese.
