CREAMY MASHED POTATO



Creamy Mashed Potato image

Recipe video above. This is my essential mashed potato recipe I make 362 days of the year*. It's a must-have at holiday gatherings and Sunday Suppers, and it's the mash you've seen smothered by sauces and gravies in hundreds of recipes on my website! Easy, creamy, buttery, rich but not insanely so (we have Paris Mash for that). Serve with everything. (*The other 3 days of the year I make Paris Mash, KFC Potato and Gravy, and Creamy Cauliflower Mash)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1.5 kg / 3 lb potatoes, peeled and cut into 2.5cm/1" cubes ((Preferably Sebago, Russet or Maris Piper, Note 1))
1 tbsp salt ((for cooking))
60g / 4 tbsp unsalted butter (, chopped)
1/3 cup milk (, preferably warmed)
1/2 tsp salt
Extra melted butter
Chives or parsley (, chopped)

Steps:

  • Place in a large pot with 1 tbsp salt. Add water so it's 10cm / 4" above potatoes.
  • Bring to a boil over high heat then reduce heat so it's simmering rapidly. Cook 15 minutes or until potatoes are very soft (jab with fork to test, they should fall apart).
  • Drain well, return into pot. Leave for 1 minute, shaking pot every now and then, to encourage evaporation of water.
  • Add Flavourings then mash well, using milk to make it looser if desired.
  • DO NOT use: a beater, stick blender, food processor or blender. You can pulse with a stand mixer or handheld mixer but be cautious, stop as soon as it's creamy (potatoes will quickly go from perfect to gluey using appliances).
  • Transfer to serving bowl, make pretty swirls across the top and drizzle over butter. Sprinkle with chives then serve!

CREAMIEST MASHED POTATOES RECIPE BY TASTY



Creamiest Mashed Potatoes Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: yukon gold potato, kosher salt, unsalted butter, heavy cream, fresh rosemary, garlic, butter, freshly ground black pepper, chive, gravy

Provided by Betsy Carter

Categories     Sides

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 lb yukon gold potato
2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more to taste
½ cup unsalted butter, 1 stick, melted
1 cup heavy cream
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
1 head garlic, crushed
butter, for serving
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
chive, finely chopped, for serving
gravy, for serving

Steps:

  • On a cutting board, peel the potatoes. Place the potatoes in a large bowl of cold water after peeling to prevent discoloration.
  • Dice the potatoes into 1-inch (2-cm) cubes.
  • Add the potatoes to a large pot of cold water, along with the salt. Bring to a soft boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 12 minutes, until the potatoes are fork-tender.
  • Drain the potatoes in a colander, then return to the pot. Increase the heat to medium-high and stir the potatoes around for 2-3 minutes to evaporate any excess moisture.
  • Transfer the potatoes to a large bowl and mash with a potato masher, potato ricer, or by pushing through a fine mesh sieve with a spatula.
  • Add the melted butter and stir to incorporate, then season with salt to taste.
  • In a small saucepan, combine the heavy cream, rosemary, and garlic. Bring to a simmer over low heat, let simmer for a few minutes, then remove the pot from the heat and strain through a fine mesh sieve.
  • Gradually add the cream mixture to the potatoes, a little at a time, stirring until fully incorporated.
  • Top with a pat of butter, freshly ground black pepper, and a sprinkle with chives, or gravy, if desired.
  • Serve warm.
  • Enjoy!
