Time 50m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 1/2 pounds russet potatoes (4 to 5 medium), peeled and chopped
Kosher salt
1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) salted butter, cut into pieces, at room temperature
1/4 to 1/2 cup milk, warmed
Freshly ground pepper
Chopped fresh parsley, for topping

Steps:

  • Put the potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Season generously with salt and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer until very tender, about 15 minutes.
  • Drain the potatoes and return to the saucepan over low heat; cook until any remaining water evaporates, about 2 minutes. Add all but 1 tablespoon butter; mash with a potato masher until smooth. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt, then gradually mash in the milk until creamy. Transfer to a serving dish; top with the remaining 1 tablespoon butter and chopped parsley.

These mashed potatoes are a bit too garlicky for my taste. I think I'll use less garlic next time.

I've tried many mashed potato recipes, but this one is by far the best. The potatoes were so creamy and fluffy, and the flavor was perfect. I will never make mashed potatoes any other way again.
