Mashed potatoes are the ultimate comfort food, known for their creamy texture and buttery flavor. Perfect as a side dish for a variety of meals, from roast chicken to holiday dinners, these mashed potatoes are simple to make and always delicious. Whether you’re looking for a smooth, velvety mash or a more rustic, chunky texture, this recipe will help you achieve the perfect result.
Ingredients:
2 pounds of potatoes (Russet or Yukon Gold are ideal)
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup whole milk (or heavy cream for extra richness)
Salt and pepper to taste
2 cloves of garlic (optional, for extra flavor)
Fresh chives or parsley for garnish (optional)
Step 1: Prepare and Boil the Potatoes
Peel the potatoes and cut them into equal-sized chunks. This ensures they cook evenly. Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a pinch of salt and, if desired, the garlic cloves for a subtle garlic flavor.
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer the potatoes for 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
