Number Of Ingredients 5

4 lbs (12 medium) russet potatoes, peeled

Fit mixer with whisk attachment and start on low speed 30 sec then increase to medium and slowly drizzle in 1 to 1 1/4 cups of the HOT milk to reach your desired texture.
  • With mixer on, add softened butter 1 Tbsp at a time, waiting a few seconds between each addition. Potatoes will be whipped and fluffy. Finally add 1 1/2 tsp salt, or add to taste.

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

5 pounds russet or Yukon gold potatoes
1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) butter, plus more for topping
One 8-ounce package cream cheese, softened
1/2 to 3/4 cup half-and-half
1/2 to 1 teaspoon seasoned salt, such as Lawry's
1/2 to 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Peel and cut the potatoes into pieces that are generally the same size. Bring a large pot of water to a simmer and add the potatoes. Bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes are cooked through, 30 to 35 minutes. (When they're cooked through a fork should easily slide into the potatoes with no resistance, and the potatoes should almost, but not totally, fall apart.)
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Drain the potatoes thoroughly in a large colander. Place them back into the dry pot and put the pot on the stove. Mash the potatoes over low heat, allowing all the steam to escape before adding in all the other ingredients.
  • Turn off the heat and add the butter, cream cheese and about 1/2 cup of half-and-half. Mash, mash, mash! Next, add about 1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Stir well, and then taste and add more half-and-half, seasoning salt and pepper if needed.
  • Transfer the potatoes to a medium-sized baking dish. Throw a few pats of butter over the top of the potatoes and place in the oven until the butter is melted and the potatoes are warmed through.

BEST EVER CREAMY MASHED POTATOES



Best ever creamy mashed potatoes image

Make everyone's favourite side dish, creamy mashed potatoes. This simple recipe results in fluffy, comforting mash that the whole family will love

Provided by Georgina Kiely - Digital food editor, bbcgoodfood.com

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 kg floury potatoes (like Maris Piper), cut into chunks
50g Yeo Valley Organic salted butter, plus 1 tbsp
50g whole milk

Steps:

  • Tip the potatoes into a large pan, cover with cold water and sprinkle with a generous pinch of salt. Set the pan over a high heat and bring to the boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 15-20 mins until the potatoes are very tender - they should be able to be easily pierced with the tip of a knife. Drain well, then return to the pan and leave to steam-dry for 5 mins.
  • Pass the potatoes through a ricer into a large bowl for a lump-free mash (you may need to do this in batches). Alternatively, mash with a potato masher until smooth, then press through a sieve using the back of a spoon to get rid of any remaining lumps.
  • Tip the 50g Yeo Valley Organic salted butter, the milk and some seasoning into the bowl with the hot mash. Beat everything together with a wooden spoon or spatula until the butter has melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy. Add a splash more milk to loosen, if needed. Top with the remaining 1 tbsp butter and leave it to melt for a few seconds before serving.

Tips For Making Creamy Mashed Potatoes With Garden Confetti

  • Use the right potatoes. Yukon Gold, Russet, and Red potatoes are all good choices for making mashed potatoes. These potatoes have a high starch content, which helps them to mash smoothly and creamily.
  • Peel the potatoes. Peeling the potatoes will help to remove any dirt or debris from the potatoes and will also help the potatoes to cook evenly.
  • Cut the potatoes into even-sized pieces. This will help the potatoes to cook evenly. If the potatoes are cut into different-sized pieces, some pieces may be overcooked while others are still undercooked.
  • Boil the potatoes in salted water. Salting the water will help to flavor the potatoes. You can also add a bay leaf or two to the water for extra flavor.
  • Cook the potatoes until they are tender. The potatoes are tender when you can easily pierce them with a fork. Be careful not to overcook the potatoes, as this will make them mushy.
  • Drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly. This will help to prevent the potatoes from becoming watery.
  • Mash the potatoes. You can use a potato masher, a food processor, or a stand mixer to mash the potatoes. If you are using a food processor or a stand mixer, be careful not to overmix the potatoes, as this will make them gluey.
  • Add milk, butter, and seasonings. The amount of milk, butter, and seasonings you add to the mashed potatoes will depend on your personal preferences. Start with a small amount of each and add more to taste.
  • Serve the mashed potatoes immediately. Mashed potatoes are best served hot and fresh. You can garnish the mashed potatoes with chopped chives, parsley, or grated cheese.
