Notes
- The easiest way to mash potatoes is with a potato masher. If you want super smooth potatoes, you can also try using a potato ricer, be sure to peel your potatoes if this is your goal. Another alternative is you can beat your potatoes with a hand mixer.
- Be sure not to mash your potatoes in the food processor. If you try it that way, you’ll end up with gluey potatoes that aren’t pleasant to eat.
- Cut your potatoes into similar sized pieces so they cook evenly.
