THE BEST MASHED POTATOES



The Best Mashed Potatoes image

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.

Categories     side-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and quartered
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, cubed
3/4 cup heavy cream, heated

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.

Creamy Mashed Potatoes image

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Time 55m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

5 pounds Yukon gold or russet potatoes
1 1/2 sticks softened butter, plus more for baking
1 1/2 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup half-and-half
1/2 cup cream
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Milk, if needed, for thinning

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Peel the potatoes and rinse them in cold water. Chop the potatoes in fourths. Place the potatoes into a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook until fork tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Drain the potatoes, and then return them to the pan. With the burner on low heat, mash the potatoes with a potato masher; the more steam that's released while you mash, the better. Mash for about 5 minutes. Turn off the burner.
  • Add the butter, cream cheese, half-and-half, and seasonings. Stir to combine, and if the mixture needs thinning, add milk. Check the seasonings, adding salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Pour the mashed potatoes into a large casserole pan. Dot the surface with butter. Cover with foil and bake in the oven for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking for 10 more minutes. Serve immediately.

MASHED POTATOES



Mashed Potatoes image

As a meat and potatoes kind of guy, mashed potatoes is my favorite side dish. I've been making this for years, and it's the main thing I'm asked to make for family gatherings. These mashed potatoes are better than any I've ever found anywhere

Provided by Tsmith70

Categories     Potato

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 -10 medium idaho russet potatoes
1/4 cup milk
2 tablespoons sour cream
1/2 cup blue bonnet margarine
salt
pepper
parsley flakes, to top

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.

SIMPLE GARLIC MASHED POTATOES



Simple Garlic Mashed Potatoes image

This is a fairly quick and simple version of garlic mashed potatoes. It goes well with just about any kind of meat or poultry, as well as many other meals. If you want to make this vegan or fleishig, reserve some of the cooking liquid to use in place of milk, and replace the butter with margarine.

Provided by Halcyon Eve

Categories     Potato

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 large red potatoes, unpeeled, cut into uniform quarters
4 -5 large garlic cloves, peeled and cut in halves
butter
hot milk
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Place potatoes and garlic into a large saucepan full of cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce heat to medium, and boil for about 10-12 minutes. Check potatoes for doneness by poking a few wedges with a fork or skewer--if still firm, cook another minute or two and check again. Repeat until tender. Drain, taking care not to lose garlic cloves. Return potatoes to warm pot.
  • Mash potatoes. Do not overwork, or potatoes will be tough (it's okay if there's a few lumps--it just means these are real potatoes, not from a box). Make sure to smash up the garlic, or pull out the cloves and squeeze in a garlic press.
  • Add some butter, to taste (I usually use 2-3 T), and salt and pepper, also to taste. Mix until butter has melted.
  • Add a little hot milk and beat it into the potatoes. Continue until potatoes are desired creaminess (the amount I use varies, but I usually use between 1/4 and 1/2 cup, give or take a bit).
  • Cover pot with foil to keep warm until ready to serve. Potatoes will stay hot for 10-15 minutes this way.
  • Serve with a pat of butter in an indentation on top.
