These are the best potatoes. Mom calls them whipped potatoes. She doesn't like lumpy spuds. Use the left overs in hot beef sandwiches, shepherds pie, or the next meal of some sort, lol.

  • 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 being watery.
  • Mash the potatoes with a potato masher or ricer: This will help to create a smooth and creamy texture.
  • Add butter, milk, and seasonings to taste: The amount of butter and milk you add will depend on your desired consistency. Common seasonings include salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  • Garnish with herbs or chives: This will add a pop of color and flavor to your mashed potatoes.

Mashed potatoes are a classic comfort food that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are a versatile dish that can be served with a variety of main courses, such as roasted chicken, grilled steak, or fish.
