This mashed potato recipe produces perfect mashed potatoes. You may use red potatoes, Yukon golds, or Idaho; my favorite for mashed potatoes is russets. Whatever kind you use, it will be delicious.
With easy instructions, you can have picture perfect whipped potatoes in no time. Let's get started. A wonderful comfort food and side dish any time of the year.
2 lbs russet potatoes - washed, peeled and quartered 1/2 tsp salt 4 TBS cold butter, chopped 3/4 cup half-and-half, or heavy cream, warmed salt and pepper to taste
Place potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with water. Add the salt and bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer approximately 15 minutes. When you can easily poke through them - drain well and place back in the hot pan so the water on the potatoes can evaporate. After a couple minutes transfer to a bowl.
In the bowl, place the chopped butter on the hot potatoes and mash using a potato masher until you have small chunks. Add the half-and-half and finish mashing until desired consistency is desired. You may also use a mixer for this step.
NOTE: For Whipped Potatoes, just add a little more half-and-half.
For a change, why not make Blue Cheese Mashed Potatoes? Just add 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese.
3/4 cup homemade mayonnaise 1/4 cup homemade cherry conserve 1/2 tsp curry powder 1/4 tsp salt 12 ounces crushed pineapple, well drained and squeezed dry 1/4 tsp lemon juice 2 cups finely chopped cooked chicken 1 cup finely diced celery 1/2 cup sliced green onion
First combine the mayonnaise, chutney, curry powder and salt. Add remaining ingredients - chill before serving.
