This is how to make my family’s favorite homemade mashed potatoes. The recipe is flexible and can be adjusted based on the ingredients you have on hand. You’ll add about 1 cup of liquid to the potatoes. I love equal parts milk and chicken broth, but use what you have. For extra creamy mashed potatoes, add an extra splash of cream.
Ingredient:
- 2 pounds (900g) Yukon Gold potatoes, red potatoes, or white potatoes
- Salt
- 1 cup (235ml) whole milk or broth, try homemade chicken broth
- 3 tablespoons (40g) butter or olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- Splash of cream or a dollop of sour cream, optional
