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.
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
- salt and pepper to taste
- Optional garnish: freshly chopped chives
Instructions
- To start, peel and cut 6-8 russet or gold 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 1/4 cup 1% milk, 1/2 cup unsalted butter, and 2 teaspoons Lawry's seasoning 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 and pepper to taste. (You can also mash them with a potato masher.)

Notes
Storing & Reheating
- In the Refrigerator: Transfer any leftover mashed potatoes to an airtight container and then pop them in the fridge. They'll stay good for 3-4 days.
- Reheating: Warm in the microwave in 30-second increments, or over medium-low heat on the stove. If your potatoes are dry, a splash of milk will do the trick.
