Potatoes

Optional Toppings

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel the Russet potatoes and cut them into equal-sized chunks (about 1-2 inches) to ensure even cooking.

  2. 2

    Cook the Potatoes

    Place the chopped potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce to medium heat and let simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a fork.

Mashing

  1. 3

    Drain and Steam Dry

    Once cooked, drain the potatoes in a colander and let them sit for a few minutes to allow excess moisture to evaporate.

  2. 4

    Mash the Potatoes

    Return the drained potatoes to the pot. Add the butter, milk, salt, and black pepper. Use a potato masher or a hand mixer to mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Serving

  1. 5

    Plate the Mashed Potatoes

    Serve the mashed potatoes warm. If desired, add optional toppings such as shredded cheese, chopped green onions, or bacon bits for an additional charge.
