Easy Mashed Potatoes Recipe (Beginner Friendly)
Ingredients:
- 3 to 4 lbs of potatoes (appx 10 potatoes)
- 1/2 cup of butter (usually 1 stick) (room temperature) 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 cup heavy cream (warmed)
- sprinkle of parsley (for topping)
Instructions:
- Wash, scrub, and clean your potatoes
- Peel the potatoes skin
- Cut them all into small, equal pieces to cook evenly and quickly
- As you are cutting, place the pieces into cold water to prevent from browning
- When ready to cook, put cold water and some salt into a pot and place heat on high, cook until fork tender (roughly 20 minutes)
- Drain potatoes into a strainer/colander
- Once drained, *make sure the heat is off* place the drained potatoes into the same pot for 5 minutes to drain any excess liquids
- After that, start mashing the potatoes
- Add in the butter little by little and continue mashing
- Add in the half and half (or milk) and continue mashing
- Then add in your seasoning, 1 tsp salt and 1 tsp black pepper, and continue mashing to the consistency of your liking
- Add your favorite toppings (we went simple and used a dash of parsley) and enjoy!
