Tips:

  • Choose the Right Potatoes: Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes are great options as they provide a fluffy texture and creamy taste.
  • Keep an Eye on Cook Time: Overcooked potatoes can become mushy, so boil them just until they are tender.
  • Save the Starchy Potato Water: Instead of draining all the water, reserve some of the starchy liquid to use when mashing for a smoother texture.
  • Season Wisely: Start with a little bit of salt and pepper, and gradually adjust to your taste preferences.
  • Add Flavorful Ingredients: Mix in herbs like parsley or dill, or roasted garlic for extra flavor.
  • Let the Potatoes Rest: Once mashed, let them rest for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the potatoes to absorb any liquid.
  • Serve Immediately: Mashed potatoes are best served hot, as they will start to lose their texture as they cool.
