Ingredients
- 5 pounds russet potato peeled and cut into 2-inch (5-cm) pieces
- 4 teaspoons kosher salt divided
- 1 cup milk warmed, plus more if needed, whole
- 2 tablespoons (1 oz) butter room temperature, plus more melted butter for serving, unsalted
- 3/4 cup smoked gouda grated
- 2 scallions thinly sliced, divided
Instructions
- Place the potatoes and 2 teaspoons of salt in a large pot. Add enough cold water to cover the potatoes by 2 inches (5 cm)and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Reduce the heat to maintain a simmer and cook until the potatoes are fork tender, but not falling apart, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain in a colander.
- Pass the potatoes through a ricer or food mill into a large bowl. Alternatively, you can whisk the potatoes in the bowl of a stand mixer or using a hand mixer until finely crumbled, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Stir in the remaining 2 teaspoons salt, warm milk, butter, smoked Gouda, and half the scallions. Beat until just smooth, adding more milk if needed to achieve a light, creamy texture.
- Serve hot, garnished with remaining scallions, and drizzled with melted butter, if desired.
Notes
- Scaling the recipe--This makes a very large batch of potatoes. Feel free to halve the recipe for smaller gatherings.
- Don't overmix--Take care not to overmix your potatoes. Beating or mixing them too much can cause them to become gummy.
- Leftovers--Store leftover mashed potatoes in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 4 days or in the freezer for up to 4 months. If frozen, thaw them in the fridge before reheating.
- Reheating--Warm the potatoes in a covered buttered baking dish in a 325°F oven until heated through, about 30 minutes.
