OUR FAVORITE HOMEMADE MASHED POTATOES
Our favorite way to make mashed potatoes. Think of this as an everyday recipe - one that you can adapt based on what you have in the fridge. We call for 1 cup of liquid to be added to the potatoes. At home, we usually use equal parts milk to chicken stock. You could use all milk or all stock (chicken or vegetable). Or, replace some milk with heavy cream or sour cream for extra decadent potatoes. A tablespoon or two of cream cheese wouldn't hurt, either. The trick to great mashed potatoes is seasoning up front. Adding a hearty amount of salt to the water seasons the potatoes while they cook - we use at least 1 tablespoon. This is similar to salting pasta water.

Steps:
- Scrub then dice potatoes, making sure they are similar in size. (We often leave the skin on the potatoes, but it is completely up to you).
- Drop potatoes in a large saucepan, add a tablespoon of salt and cover with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat then reduce to a low simmer. Cook until the potatoes fall apart when pierced with a fork, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Heat the milk or chicken stock, and the butter until warm and the butter has melted. Drain then return the potatoes to the saucepan and cover with a clean dishtowel. Leave them for about 5 minutes to absorb excess steam that can make mashed potatoes watery.
- Pour in the warm butter mixture then mash the potatoes until creamy. (Don't worry if the potatoes seem a bit thin at first, they absorb the liquid after a minute or two). Stir in the pepper and splash of cream or sour cream (if using).
- Taste for seasoning and adjust with additional salt and pepper. Let stand for 5 minutes so that the potatoes thicken, and then serve.

Steps:
- Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 45 minutes. Insert a knife into the center of the potatoes to ensure accurate soft tenderness; the potatoes should be soft but not falling apart. Drain. When cool enough to handle, hold each potato in a clean kitchen towel and peel off the skin. Cut into chunks. (If in a hurry, peel the potatoes first and cut into small chunks for boiling.)
- Add the butter and milk to the same pot and place over the lowest heat to melt the butter and warm the milk. Return the potatoes to the pot and mash until almost smooth. Add the cottage cheese and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Stir briskly before serving.

CHUNKY GARLIC MASHED POTATOES
I like to dress up these mashed spuds with a whole bulb of roasted garlic. It may seem like overkill, but once cooked, any harshness mellows out and you're left with sweet and delicate garlic flavor. -Mrs. Jackie Gregston, Hallsville, Texas

Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: For the best results, use starchy potatoes like Russets or Yukon Golds. These potatoes will hold their shape better and produce a creamier mash.
- Scrub the potatoes well: This will remove any dirt or debris from the skin. You can also peel the potatoes if you prefer, but leaving the skin on will add more flavor and nutrients to the dish.
- Cut the potatoes into even-sized pieces: This will help them cook evenly. For chunky mashed potatoes, cut the potatoes into 1-inch pieces. For smoother mashed potatoes, cut them into smaller pieces.
- Boil the potatoes in salted water: Add 1 tablespoon of salt to a large pot of water and bring to a boil. Add the potatoes and cook until they are tender when pierced with a fork, about 15-20 minutes.
- Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot: Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them in a colander and then return them to the pot.
- Mash the potatoes: Use a potato masher or a fork to mash the potatoes until they reach your desired consistency. For chunky mashed potatoes, leave some lumps. For smoother mashed potatoes, mash until the potatoes are completely smooth.
- Add butter, milk, and seasonings: Stir in butter, milk, and salt and pepper to taste. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or herbs.
- Serve immediately: Mashed potatoes are best served immediately. If you need to make them ahead of time, you can reheat them in a microwave or oven.
