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.)
