THE BEST MASHED POTATOES
This is our go-to recipe for classic mashed potatoes, made with plenty of butter and cream. To make them fluffy and flavorful, be sure to simmer them slowly and add plenty of salt to the cooking water. And don't skip the step of steaming the excess water off; leaving too much moisture in the potatoes causes them to be loose and gluey.

Steps:
- Put the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Generously salt the water and bring to a boil over high heat. Then lower the heat to medium and gently simmer until the potatoes are completely tender when pierced with the tip of a knife, about 30 minutes.
- Drain the potatoes well and return them to the pot. Place the pot over low heat and let any residual water steam off, about 2 minutes. Mash the potatoes well with a potato masher. Fold in the butter with a spatula until melted, and then fold in the cream. Season with salt and pepper.

MASHED POTATOES

Steps:
- Peel, cut up and boil potatoes until tender.
- Drain water and put potatoes in a mixing bowl.
- Add margarine, sour cream and milk.
- Use an electric mixer and mix until desired consistency.
- The KEY here is to add salt and pepper to taste.
- You might add anywhere from a teaspoon to several tablespoons of salt, just depending on how much you like salt.
- Pepper is the same way, although use it more sparingly.
- Just remember to add a little at a time, until you get it where you like it.
- Once that is done, I usually put a couple of pats of margarine on top of the finished potatoes to let it melt.
- Then sprinkle parsley over it.
- This will make the best mashed potatoes I've ever found anywhere.

- Choose the Right Potatoes. Everyone has their own idea of what makes perfect mashed potatoes. Whether you're seeking a creamy or fluffy mash, spuds rich with cream or something as light as air, you can use the tips in this guide to make perfect mashed potatoes no matter which recipe you use.
- Boil the Potatoes Whole. Plenty of recipes and tips will have you peel and cut potatoes into even pieces. A much better option is to buy potatoes that are all about the same size so they will cook evenly.
- Dry the Potatoes. Drain the potatoes, return them to the hot pot, and return the pot to low heat. Cook, uncovered, shaking the pan every few minutes, for 5 to 10 minutes to evaporate as much water from the hot potatoes as you can.
- Peel & Mash the Potatoes. The extent to which it is worth the $15 or so that a ricer costs when it comes to mashed potatoes cannot be stressed enough. A ricer mashes potatoes utterly and completely, without a bump or lump in sight.
- Add Hot Cream, Butter, or Other Flavorings. Heat any cream, milk, butter, or flavorings before you add them to the mashed potatoes. This will keep the potatoes hot and also keep them fluffy.
