Best Mashed Potatoes And Squash With Gruyère Recipes

GRUYERE MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Wash the potatoes and cut into 1" cubes. (You can leave the peel on if desired or peel half of the potatoes. The potato peel gives it a rustic texture, so yummy)
• Place the potatoes in a pot and cover with hot water, add 2 teaspoons of salt, and bring to a boil.
• Cooking on medium heat, boil potatoes for 20-30 minutes or until the potato is soft but not mushy. You'll know it has cooked long enough when you stick a fork in the potato and the potato doesn't stay on the fork when you lift it.
• Drain the water off the potatoes. Add the potatoes to the pot again and add the remaining ingredients.
• Mash potatoes with a hand masher or an electric mixer ( if you plan to use an electric mixer, don't overmix the potatoes or they will have a gluey texture-use a low speed and only until the potatoes are mashed enough) You can add a pat of butter and chopped parsley for garnish. Enjoy!
