HOLIDAY MASHED POTATOES
My mom passed this recipe on to me several years ago and I have been making it for every holiday dinner since. They can be made ahead, eliminating the need for mashing potatoes on the big day! I sprinkle a little paprika on top before baking to give it some color. Prep time does not include time it takes to boil the potatoes.

Steps:
- 1. Place the potatoes into a large pot, and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain, and return the potatoes to the pot. Turn heat to high, and allow the potatoes to dry for about 30 seconds. Turn off the heat.
- 2. Mash the potatoes with a potato masher twice around the pot, then add the butter and milk. Continue to mash until smooth and fluffy. Whisk in the salt and black pepper until evenly distributed, about 15 seconds.
Tips:
- For a smooth, lump-free texture, use a potato ricer or food mill to mash the potatoes.
- Use a combination of Yukon Gold and russet potatoes for the best flavor and texture.
- Do not overcook the potatoes, or they will become gummy.
- Add the milk and butter gradually, until the potatoes reach the desired consistency.
- Season the mashed potatoes with garlic, onion, salt, and pepper to taste.
- For a cheesy flavor, add shredded cheddar or Parmesan cheese to the mashed potatoes.
- For a creamy flavor, add sour cream or Greek yogurt to the mashed potatoes.
