Here’s a simple, creamy mashed potatoes recipe you can make easily at home.
🥔 Classic Mashed Potatoes
Ingredients:
- 4 medium potatoes
- 2–3 tbsp butter
- ½ cup milk (warm)
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper (optional)
- Optional: garlic powder, cheese, or cream for extra flavor
Instructions:
- Peel and chop potatoes
Cut into equal chunks so they cook evenly. - Boil
Place in salted water and boil for 15–20 minutes, until soft (a fork should slide in easily). - Drain well
Remove all water so mash doesn’t get watery. - Mash
Use a masher or fork and mash until smooth. - Add flavor
Mix in butter first, then slowly add warm milk while stirring. - Season
Add salt, pepper, and any extras like garlic or cheese.
Tips for best mashed potatoes:
- Warm milk = creamier texture
- Don’t overmix (can become gluey)
- Add roasted garlic for extra flavor
