My go to favorite homemade mashed potatoes recipe! If I'm making mashed potaotes for dinner, these are it! Ingredients are basic (Idaho potatoes, milk, butter and garlic salt) but taste is creamy and delicious!
2poundspotatoes (Idaho or Russet)peeled and chopped into 1-2 inch even size pieces
1teaspoongarlic salt
1cupmilk
4tablespoonsbutter
Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
Add potatoes to a large pot of water. Add garlic salt and stir. Bring water to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat and cook on a low boil for 15-20 minutes or until a fork easily slides into the potatoes. Drain potatoes and place back into the pot.
Add milk and butter and mix with a hand mixer until creamy and smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste, stir again. Do they need to be more creamy? Then add a little bit of extra milk or butter (try adding 2 more tablespoons) and stir again until you have the perfect creamy consistency.
