Dad's Famous Mashed Potatoes
My dad's famous mashed potatoes are always the star of the dinner table! Perfectly creamy, buttery, and they have such amazing flavor. People are always begging him to make the recipe!
Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 6-8 russet or gold potatoes
- 1/4 cup 1% milk
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons Lawry's seasoning salt
- pepper to taste
- Optional garnish: freshly chopped chives
Instructions
- To start, peel and cut your potatoes into about 1/2 -1 inch cubes. Place them into a large pot and wash the starch off until the water runs clear. Fill the pot with cold water to fully submerse the potatoes. Add a dash of salt.
- Boil the potatoes for about 15 minutes or until they are fork tender. Drain the potatoes and add milk, butter, and salt.
- Using an electric hand mixer, beat the potatoes on high until they start to form peaks. If the potatoes still seem thick and need to be creamer, add additional milk. Also add additional salt to taste. (You can also mash them with a potato masher.)
