Ingredients
  

For the Potatoes
  • 2 pounds Russet or Yukon Gold Potatoes Provides the creamy base ideal for mashing due to high starch content.
  • 3 cloves Garlic Optional; adds aromatic flavor.
For the Creaminess
  • 75 g Melted Salted Butter Enhances richness and creaminess.
  • 240 ml Hot Milk or Cream Creates a silky texture; substitute with half-and-half for an even richer flavor.
For Seasoning
  • Salt Essential for seasoning to taste.
  • Pepper Essential for seasoning to taste.

Equipment

  • Pot
  • Potato masher or ricer
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Cutting Board
  • Knife

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Peel about 2 pounds of Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes and cut them into equal chunks, roughly 1 to 2 inches.
  2. Place the potato chunks into a pot filled with cold salted water and bring to a boil over high heat; reduce to a gentle simmer for about 15-20 minutes until fork-tender.
  3. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Let them sit over low heat for 2-3 minutes to eliminate excess moisture.
  4. Mash the potatoes using a potato masher or ricer until smooth and fluffy, avoiding overmixing for a creamy texture.
  5. Gradually mix in melted salted butter and hot milk or cream until achieving desired creaminess. Season generously with salt and pepper.
  6. Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving dish and fluff slightly with a fork. Serve with your favorite main dishes.
