If you mean how to make mashed potatoes, here’s a simple recipe:
Ingredients
- 2 lb (about 1 kg) potatoes (Yukon Gold or Russet work well)
- 4 tbsp butter
- ½–1 cup warm milk or cream (adjust for texture)
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- Optional: garlic, sour cream, chives, or grated cheese
Method
- Peel and cut potatoes into evenly sized chunks.
- Boil in salted water for 15–20 minutes until very tender.
- Drain well and let them steam dry for a minute.
- Mash the potatoes while hot.
- Mix in butter, then slowly add warm milk/cream until smooth and creamy.
- Season with salt and pepper. Add extras if desired.
Tips for better mashed potatoes
- Don’t overmix (it can make them gluey).
- Warm the milk before adding it.
- Use a potato ricer or masher for the fluffiest texture.
