THE BEST MASHED POTATOES



The Best Mashed Potatoes image

This is our go-to recipe for classic mashed potatoes, made with plenty of butter and cream. To make them fluffy and flavorful, be sure to simmer them slowly and add plenty of salt to the cooking water. And don't skip the step of steaming the excess water off; leaving too much moisture in the potatoes causes them to be loose and gluey.

Time 55m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 medium potatoes (about 2 pounds, peeled and halved)
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
5 tablespoons butter (unsalted, divided)
1/2 cup heavy cream (approximately)

MASHED POTATOES



Mashed Potatoes image

Mashed potatoes are very forgiving, and with a good masher, hot potatoes and enough butter and salt, cooks can accommodate religionists of the fluffy style and partisans of the creamy and dense. Be openhanded with salt and butter but stingy with milk, which will flatten out the bright, earthy potato taste. (And for everything you need to know to make perfect potatoes, visit our potato guide.)

Categories     vegetables, side dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

Salt
2 1/2 pounds potatoes (about 6 large potatoes), preferably a combination of russet (baking) potatoes and large Yukon Golds, or all Yukon Golds
4 tablespoons butter, more for dotting
1/3 cup whole milk

Steps:

  • In a large pot, bring a gallon of water and 2 tablespoons salt to a boil over high heat. Peel and quarter potatoes and keep in cold water until ready to cook. (This can be done up to 4 hours in advance.) Add potatoes to boiling water and boil about 15 to 20 minutes, until soft; a knife should go in with almost no resistance. (It is better to overcook than to undercook.)
  • In a saucepan or a microwave oven, heat butter and milk together until butter melts and mixture steams. Drain potatoes well and return to pot. Shake them around in the hot pan or over very low heat for a minute (you want dry potatoes). Using an extruding masher or a ricer, mash hot potatoes until smooth, about 2 minutes. Lightly mix in about half of hot butter mixture, just until blended. Taste for salt and add more butter mixture until seasoned to your liking.
  • Stop here for fluffy potatoes. For creamy potatoes, keep stirring potato mixture, using a sturdy spoon to press it against sides and bottom of pot. Mix until dense and thick. For whipped potatoes, use a stand mixer to mash hot potatoes just until smooth, about 30 seconds. Add all the butter mixture and salt to taste, pulsing machine in short bursts at medium speed. When light and creamy, stop mixing immediately. (Potatoes can quickly become sticky.)
  • To keep hot until ready to serve, transfer to serving bowl, dot top with butter, cover tightly and keep in a warm place, like the back of the stove. Potatoes will stay hot for at least 30 minutes. To keep longer, place covered bowl in a pan holding about an inch of gently simmering water. Before serving, mix well.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Yukon Gold potatoes are a good choice for mashed potatoes because they have a smooth, creamy texture. Russet potatoes can also be used, but they may need to be peeled first.
  • Cook the potatoes until they are very tender: This will ensure that they are easy to mash. You can check if the potatoes are done by piercing them with a fork. If the fork goes through easily, the potatoes are done.
  • Drain the potatoes well: This will prevent the mashed potatoes from being watery.
  • Mash the potatoes with a potato masher or ricer: This will give you a smooth, creamy texture. You can also use a food processor, but be careful not to over-process the potatoes, or they will become gluey.
  • Add milk, butter, and seasonings to taste: Start with a small amount of milk and butter, and then add more until you reach the desired consistency. Season the mashed potatoes with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices to taste.
  • Serve the mashed potatoes immediately: Mashed potatoes are best served fresh. If you need to make them ahead of time, you can store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, reheat the mashed potatoes over low heat, stirring constantly.

Conclusion:

Amsterdam mashed potatoes are a delicious and versatile side dish that can be served with a variety of main courses. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. So next time you're looking for a simple but satisfying side dish, give Amsterdam mashed potatoes a try.
