Creamy Mashed Potatoes Recipe

Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 30 minutes
Total Time 45 minutes
Course: Side Dish

Ingredients
  

Produce
  • 3 lbs  (8 medium) russet potatoes, peeled
Baking & Spices
  • 2 tsp Salt or to taste (we used sea salt)
  • 2 tsp Pepper
Dairy
  • 1 1/4 Cups Hot milk we used whole milk
Refrigerated
  • 8 tbsp Unsalted butter, at room temperature (not melted)

Method
 

  1. Peel potatoes. If you want the smoothest potatoes possible, remove the little knots from the potatoes with a small spoon or the tip of a potatoes peeler. Place potatoes in a large pot (5 Qt+) and cover potatoes with cold water. Bring to a boil and cook partially covered until easily pierced with a knife (boil 25-30 min depending on the size of your potatoes; mine took 30 min).
  2. Drain well and transfer to the bowl of your stand mixer. Grab the whisk attachment and mash potatoes lightly by hand to break them up. Fit mixer with whisk attachment and start on low speed 30 sec then increase to medium and slowly drizzle in the HOT milk.
  3. With mixer on, add softened butter 1 Tbsp at a time, waiting a few seconds between each addition. Potatoes will be whipped and fluffy. Finally add salt and pepper to taste. ENJOY!
