Categories     Milk/Cream     Potato     Side     Kid-Friendly     Quick & Easy     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Gourmet     Small Plates

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 3

2 pounds russet (baking) or red potatoes
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
3/4 to 1 cup milk

Steps:

  • Peel potatoes and cut into 2-inch pieces. (If using red potatoes, it is not necessary to peel them). In a large heavy saucepan simmer potatoes in salted water to cover by 1 inch 10 minutes, or until tender, and drain in a colander. In pan or bowl combine potatoes, butter, and 3/4 cup milk. With a potato masher mash potatoes until smooth, adding more milk if necessary to make creamy. In pan reheat potatoes over moderately low heat, stirring, and season with salt and pepper.

These mashed potatoes were a disappointment. They were bland and lumpy. I won't be making this recipe again.

These mashed potatoes were delicious! I used Yukon Gold potatoes and they were so creamy and fluffy. I will definitely be making this recipe again.

I'm a mashed potato purist, so I was hesitant to try this recipe with all the added ingredients. But I'm glad I did! The garlic and herbs really took these mashed potatoes to the next level.

These mashed potatoes were a total disaster. They were lumpy, bland, and had a weird aftertaste. I'm not sure what I did wrong, but I won't be making this recipe again.

I'm not a big fan of mashed potatoes, but I have to admit that these were pretty good. They were creamy and flavorful, and I liked the addition of the chives.

These mashed potatoes are the perfect comfort food. They're creamy, fluffy, and so satisfying. I love them with gravy, roasted chicken, or just by themselves.

I've tried this recipe several times and I can never get the mashed potatoes to be smooth. They're always lumpy.

These mashed potatoes are so easy to make and they're always a crowd-pleaser. I love that I can make them ahead of time and they still taste great.

I followed the recipe exactly and my mashed potatoes turned out lumpy. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

These mashed potatoes were a little bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more salt and pepper next time.

These mashed potatoes are the best I've ever had. The secret is in the Yukon Gold potatoes. They're so creamy and fluffy.

These mashed potatoes were a hit at my last dinner party! Everyone raved about how creamy and flavorful they were. I'll definitely be making them again soon.
