- Choose the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes are the best choices for mashed potatoes because they are starchy and will mash smoothly.
- Peel and cut the potatoes evenly: This will help them cook evenly.

- Drain the potatoes thoroughly: Any excess water will make the mashed potatoes runny.
- Mash the potatoes with butter and milk: This will make them creamy and smooth.
- Season the mashed potatoes with salt, pepper, and sage: You can also add other herbs and spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika, to taste.
- Garnish the mashed potatoes with fresh sage leaves: This will add a pop of color and flavor.
