Mashed potatoes, a classic side dish that hardly needs a recipe, but I wanted to put my version here for you. I make them almost weekly since I use them in my CRUFFIN recipe as well as STRAWBERRIES & CREAM SWEET ROLLS. My mother in law introduced me to using a "potato ricer" to make extra smooth potatoes, which is key for those recipes. If you prefer them a bit chunkier, use your favorite potato masher instead.

Cook Mode

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Peel potatoes, removing any spots or divots. Cut them into approximately 1½ - 2” pieces--make sure they're all about the same size so they cook evenly. Placing them into a medium sized saucepan filled with water as you go. Make sure your water level is just above the potatoes, you don't need them to be covered by more than about an inch of water.
Once all potatoes are in the water, add salt, stir and place over medium heat. Bring to a slow boil then reduce heat and allow to continue to cook with a consistent boil. Keep an eye on it, as you don't want it to boil over.
Once potatoes are fork tender, drain in a colander and return to the pan. You can then add the butter and milk, staring with the amounts called for and adding extra as desired to the desired consistency.
Serve right away, adding additional butter if desired and store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
