There has been much written on the best way to make mashed potatoes. It really depends on your personal taste preferences. I have discovered that the real trick to creamy, buttery, heavenly potatoes is to use milk and butter. We usually served mashed potato with steak.
Ingredients
- 3 potatoes
- 1/3 cup of milk
- 2 tbs butter
- a pinch of salt
- a pinch of pepper
Steps
- Put the potatoes in a large pot. Add a pinch of salt. Add water until potatoes are covered. Bring to boil, covered, for at least 30 minutes until it’s done – a fork can easily be poked through them.
- Drain water from the potatoes and separate the skin from the meat of the potatoes. At this point, it should be easy to do so.
- Put the potatoes back into the pot and set the stove to low heat. Use potato masher to mash the potatoes until well mashed.
- Add milk, butter, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve as side dish.
