  • Drain the potatoes thoroughly: This will help to prevent the mashed potatoes from being watery.
  • Mash the potatoes with a potato masher or ricer: This will help to create a smooth and creamy texture.
  • Add milk, butter, and seasonings to taste: The amount of milk and butter you add will depend on your desired consistency. Season the mashed potatoes with salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste.
  • Serve the mashed potatoes immediately: They are best when served hot and fresh.
