How to make real mashed potatoes
Make this wonderful and easy recipe for real mashed potatoes. Remembering that we will start by listing all the ingredients, so start by separating all the ingredients and then the complete preparation method.
Ingredients:
- 4 large russet potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup whole milk or heavy cream
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
Place the peeled and cut potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water.
Add a pinch of salt to the water, and then bring it to a boil over medium-high heat.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer the potatoes for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
Drain the cooked potatoes in a colander and return them to the pot.
Add the butter to the hot potatoes and let it melt.
Pour in the milk or heavy cream. Start with a smaller amount and gradually add more to achieve your desired creaminess.
Use a potato masher or a hand mixer to mash the potatoes and mix in the butter and milk/cream. Keep mashing until you reach your desired consistency. You can make them smooth or leave some lumps, depending on your preference.
Season the mashed potatoes with salt and black pepper to taste. Mix well to distribute the seasoning.
Taste and adjust the seasoning, milk/cream, or butter as needed to reach your desired taste and texture.
Once the mashed potatoes are smooth and well seasoned, transfer them to a serving dish.
If desired, garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color.
