Tips:
- Use Yukon Gold potatoes: These potatoes are known for their smooth, creamy texture, which makes them ideal for mashed potatoes.
- Boil the potatoes in salted water: This helps to flavor the potatoes and prevents them from becoming bland.
- Drain the potatoes thoroughly: This will help to prevent the mashed potatoes from becoming watery.
- Mash the potatoes with a potato ricer or a fork: A potato ricer will give you the smoothest mashed potatoes, but a fork will work just fine.
- Add milk, butter, and seasonings to taste: Start with a small amount of each and then add more until you reach the desired consistency and flavor.
- Serve the mashed potatoes immediately: They are best when they are hot and fluffy.
