US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Notes

Serving suggestions

  • Baked mashed potatoes. Once the mashed potatoes are done, spoon them into a 9x13 baking dish and bake for 15 minutes at 350ºF. This will give the top of the mashed potatoes a nice brown crust. The bottom should stay creamy and delicious.
  • Mashed potatoes with red potatoes. Instead of using Russet potatoes, try using red potatoes which have a sweeter taste. Red potatoes are generally a little bit smaller and softer so you only have to cut them into 4 pieces before boiling.
  • Baby mashed potatoes. Use baby Yukon gold potatoes. Boil whole with the skin on. Baby mashed potatoes will be sweeter and have a natural creaminess.
  • Bacon mashed potatoes. Fry up some beef fry or pastrami and crumble into the boiled potatoes right before mashing. This kosher bacon along with the roasted garlic will be a flavor you will never forget.
  • Mashed potatoes with mayo. Mayo is a great non-dairy substitute for butter and milk. It has a high fat content which makes the mashed potatoes creamy and delicious.
