Mashed Potatoes


Updated March 11, 2019

Basic mashed potatoes in a bowl.


These mashed potatoes are so easy to make, and they're delicious. This recipe makes enough mashed potatoes for 6 to 8 people. I always make plenty because they're also delicious fried or warmed for another meal, or you could use them as a topping on a cottage pie or meatloaf.

Instructions:

  1. Put potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 20 minutes, or until fork tender.
  2. Drain potatoes thoroughly. If possible, for the smoothest mash, put potatoes through a potato ricer.
  3. Transfer drained potatoes (chunks or riced) to a bowl. With an electric mixer on low speed, beat in the butter and 1/3 cup of warm cream or milk. Add more cream or milk, as needed, then add salt and pepper, to taste.
