Ultimate Mashed Potatoes Recipes

Steps:

• On a cutting board, peel the potatoes. Place the potatoes in a large bowl of cold water after peeling to avoid discoloration.
• Cut the potatoes into 1-inch (2 cm) cubes.
• Add the potatoes to a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 12 minutes.
• In a small saucepan, bring the milk, heavy cream, and garlic to a simmer over low heat.
• Remove the pot from the heat and strain the cream through a fine mesh sieve.
• Drain the potatoes in a colander and transfer back to the pot.
• Mash the potatoes with a potato masher, potato ricer, or by pushing through a fine mesh sieve with a spatula.
• Add the cubed cold butter and salt. Stir to combine.
• Gradually add the cream mixture to the potatoes, little by little, until fully incorporated.
• Top with freshly ground black pepper and sprinkle with chives and serve.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Heat the broth and potatoes in a 3-quart saucepan over medium-high heat to a boil.
• Reduce the heat to medium. Cover and cook for 10 minutes or until the potatoes are tender. Drain, reserving the broth.
• Mash the potatoes with 1/4 cup broth, light cream, sour cream, chives, butter, bacon and black pepper. Add the additional broth, if needed, until desired consistency. Garnish with the remaining bacon.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
• Place the potatoes in a large pot of cool water. (All the potatoes should be fully submerged.) Season the water very generously with salt and boil the potatoes until tender, about 30 minutes. Drain the potatoes and discard the water.
• Place an oven-safe serving dish in the oven to warm.
• Press the potatoes through a ricer. (If too large, cut in half before pressing.)
• Meanwhile, heat the milk in a small saucepot over medium heat.
• Pour the warmed milk over the riced potatoes. Fold in the butter to combine. Season with salt if necessary. Transfer to the warmed serving dish and serve.

Steps:

• 1. Heat the broth and potatoes in a 3-quart saucepan over medium-high heat to a boil.
• 2. Reduce the heat to medium. Cover and cook for 10 minutes or until the potatoes are tender. Drain the potatoes well in a colander, reserving the broth.
• 3. Mash the potatoes with 1/4 cup reserved broth, light cream, sour cream, chives, butter, bacon and black pepper. Add the additional reserved broth, if needed, until desired consistency. Garnish with the remaining bacon.

Steps:

• Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil. Add the potatoes and boil for about 15 mins or until tender. Transfer to a colander and drain well, then return to the pan and set over a very low heat for 2 mins to dry completely.
• Heat the milk and butter in a small pan, then pour over the potatoes. Remove from the heat, then mash potatoes using an electric hand whisk or potato masher. Tip in the créme fraîche and beat with a wooden spoon until smooth and creamy. Season with pepper and a pinch of salt.

Steps:

• Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add potatoes; cook until tender but still firm. Drain and return to stove over low heat to dry for 1 to 2 minutes.
• Add butter, Parmesan cheese, chives, cream cheese, garlic, salt, and pepper. Use a potato masher to mash until smooth, and serve.

Steps:

• In a large stockpot, boil potatoes with salt until tender--about 15 minutes.
• Drain water and add remaining ingredients.
• Mash until smooth (I like to leave at least a few lumps, call me weird).
• Serve with gravy or butter.
• Note: You can easily turn this recipe into garlic mashed potatoes by adding 3 cloves roasted garlic when you mash.
• For another tasty variation, try adding shredded cheddar and cooked broccoli pieces.

Steps:

• Place the potatoes, carrots, and garlic into a large pot and cover with water. Season with salt, black pepper, paprika, onion powder, thyme, basil, oregano, and marjoram. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and allow to steam dry for a minute or two.
• Return the potatoes to the pot, and mash until smooth. Fold in the butter, Cheddar cheese, Worcestershire sauce, barbeque sauce, and popcorn chicken until the cheese has melted. Stir in the hot milk until absorbed and serve.

Steps:

• Place peeled and cubed potatoes into a medium size saucepan.
• Cover with water,place on stove and cook on medium heat until fork tender, approximately 10 to 15 minutes depending on the size of cubes and type of potato.
• Remove from heat and drain any remaining water.
• Place potatoes into mixing bowl.
• Add butter and start to whip potatoes with mixer set on 7 or 8.
• Add sour cream slowly and whip until smooth and creamy.
• (The amount of sour cream may vary depending on the type of potato used, Yukon gold uses all, some other softer potatoes do not need all of the sour cream.) Pour potatoes into a cassole dish sprayed with cooking spray.
• Top with as much cheese as desired.
• Bake at 350 for approximately 20 minutes or until cheese bubbles and edges start to brown.
• Remove from oven and let sit for five minutes.
• If you are serving a meat that has a gravy, then leave off the cheese but still bake the potatoes until bubbly.
