Basic Mashed Potatoes image

This is one of the best loved and a basic dish in most families. We just can't seem to get enough mashed or some say "creamed" potatoes. You may serve with additional butter melted on top, cheese, brown or cream gravy. There's nothing fancy about this recipe just plain good.

These mashed potatoes were a bit too garlicky for my taste, but overall they were still good.

Overall, these mashed potatoes were good, but not great. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

The potatoes were a bit too lumpy for my liking. I think I'll mash them more thoroughly next time.

These mashed potatoes were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add more garlic and butter next time.

These were the best mashed potatoes I've ever had! I used Yukon Gold potatoes and they were so fluffy and flavorful. I will definitely be making these again.

Great recipe! I've made mashed potatoes a million times, but this was the first time I've used a ricer. It made a huge difference in the texture - the potatoes were so smooth and creamy. Definitely worth the extra effort.
