Roasted Potatoes

Method

Mashed Potatoes

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel the Russet potatoes and cut them into quarters. Rinse under cold water to remove excess starch.

  2. 2

    Boil the Potatoes

    Place the cut potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add 1 tsp of salt. Bring to a boil and cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until tender.

  3. 3

    Drain and Mash

    Once the potatoes are tender, drain them in a colander. Return to the pot and mash with a potato masher until smooth.

  4. 4

    Add Butter and Milk

    Add the butter to the mashed potatoes. Slowly pour in the milk while continuing to mash until the desired consistency is reached. If using garlic, mince and mix in.

  5. 5

    Season and Serve

    Add salt and black pepper to taste. Mix well and serve hot.
