Mashed Potatoes Ingredients

Method

Mashed Potatoes Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel and chop the potatoes into even-sized chunks. If using garlic, peel the cloves as well.

  2. 2

    Boil the Potatoes

    Place the chopped potatoes (and garlic, if using) in a large pot, cover with water, and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.

  3. 3

    Drain and Mash

    Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and return them to the pot. Use a potato masher or fork to mash them to your desired consistency.

  4. 4

    Add Butter and Milk

    Add the butter and milk to the mashed potatoes. Stir until the butter is melted and everything is well combined. Adjust the milk for desired creaminess.

  5. 5

    Season and Serve

    Season with salt and black pepper to taste. If desired, fold in chopped chives for added flavor. Serve warm.
