The Best Creamy Mashed Potatoes
Description
The Best Creamy Mashed Potatoes start by simmering peeled Yukon gold potato chunks until soft. The potatoes are drained and mashed with butter and milk to create a smooth base. Incorporating a raw egg into the mashed potatoes adds both richness and a silkier mouthfeel, contributing to the creaminess without the need for cream. Additional milk adjusts the consistency to preference.
Seasoned simply with salt and pepper, this mashed potato recipe showcases the natural sweetness and buttery texture of Yukon golds. Serving them hot preserves the creamy texture and allows the butter flavor to shine through.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds potato peeled and cut into 2 inch chunks, Yukon gold variety
- 1/4-1/2 cup milk
- 4 tablespoons butter plus more for serving
- 1 large egg
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Add the potatoes to a large pot and add water to cover the potatoes. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 15 minutes or until potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Drain the water from the potatoes and return the potatoes to the pan. Add 1/4 cup of milk and 4 tablespoons butter and mash the potatoes with a potato masher until no lumps remain.
- Crack the egg into the center of the potatoes and stir well to mix the egg into the potatoes. If needed, add additional milk to get the potatoes to the consistency you prefer.
- Taste and add salt and pepper as desired.
- Serve hot.
