The BEST Mashed Potatoes Recipe
Ingredients:
1 1/4 cups hot milk (use whole milk for best results)
16 Tbsp unsalted butter (2 sticks), softened
1 1/2 tsp sea salt (or to taste)
1 Tbsp fresh parsley or chives, finely chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
Peel and rinse the potatoes under cold water, removing any small knots or imperfections. Cut larger potatoes in half for even cooking.
Place the potatoes in a large pot, cover with cold water, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat and cook partially covered for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are easily pierced with a knife. Avoid overcooking.
Drain the potatoes thoroughly and transfer them to the bowl of a stand mixer. Lightly mash the potatoes by hand to break them up.
Attach the whisk to your stand mixer and mix the potatoes on low speed for 30 seconds. Gradually increase the speed to medium and slowly drizzle in 1 to 1 1/4 cups of hot milk until the desired texture is reached.
With the mixer running, add the softened butter 1 tablespoon at a time, pausing briefly between additions. Continue mixing until the potatoes are smooth and fluffy.
Season with 1 1/2 tsp salt, or adjust to taste.
Garnish with fresh parsley or chives, if desired, and serve immediately.
Servings: 6-8
