Lindas Fluffy Mashed Potatoes Recipes

Steps:

• In a large pan, boil potatoes with salt until tender, 15-20 minutes.
• Drain water, and add remaining ingredients.
• Mash until smooth, with a potato masher.
• Do not whip continually with a beater, or they will get gooey, and starchy as the gluten breaks down.
• Note: You can turn this recipe into garlic mashed potatoes, by adding 3 cloves roasted garlic when you mash.
• You can turn this recipe into garlic onion mashed potatoes, by adding sauteed onions, and roasted garlic to your taste, while mashing.
• For another tasty dish, try adding shredded Cheddar cheese, and cooked broccoli pieces.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Cut the top off the garlic and wrap it in foil leaving the top cut edge exposed. Drizzle on some olive oil and bake for 45 minutes or until the garlic is soft and caramelized. Remove from the oven and let cool a bit.
• Meanwhile peel the potatoes, cut them into cubes, and put them into a medium sized pot. Cover them with water and add a big pinch of salt. Bring them to a boil over high heat, then lower the heat to medium and simmer until they are tender, about 20 minutes. Drain them well.
• While the potatoes are cooking, warm the cream and rosemary in a small pot over low heat. When you are ready to mash, strain out the rosemary.
• When the potatoes are dry but still hot, put them through a ricer into a large bowl. Squeeze in the garlic and add some of the warm cream. Mix well, then add the butter and mix again. Add more cream if they are too dry. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Heat pot of water 'till boiling.
• Peel and cube potatoes - add to boiling water.
• Boil gently until a fork can be inserted very easily into a potato - drain.
• Add milk to the pot to heat it up.
• Transer potatoes to a mixing bowl.
• Add margarine/butter and turn on mixer to low.
• Gradually add warm milk until it is your desired consistency.
• Add baking powder - mix on high for 30-45 seconds.
• Salt & pepper to taste mixing thoroughly.

Steps:

• Fill a large pot with about 2 inches of water and add a pinch of salt. Set steamer basket in pot, making sure water doesn't seep through holes. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a rapid simmer.
• Add potatoes to steamer basket and steam until tender when pierced with the tip of a paring knife, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Heat butter and milk in a small saucepan over medium heat until the milk is warm and the butter has melted. Remove potatoes from steamer basket. While potatoes are still hot, use a ricer to rice potatoes into a large bowl. Add milk mixture and gently combine with a spatula; season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add the salt. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 20 minutes longer.
• Drain the potatoes and press through a potato ricer into a large bowl. Set aside.
• Heat the butter, cream, and milk in a small pot over low heat until simmering.
• Pour the cream mixture over the potatoes and stir to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Garnish with chives, if desired.
• Note: A potato ricer gives these potatoes a super fluffy texture, but you can use a hand masher if you don't own one.
• Enjoy!
