Mashed Potatoes
Mashed potatoes - potatoes are my top favourite food. From mashed to chips, these starchy roots pack some serious comfort, don't they?! Well, in this recipe we go flat-out standard. Masher, no ricer, so yes, we end up with lumps. Plus, they're made with butter and milk, a touch of salt and pepper, and that's about it. All in all, these are my go-to, ultra-simple potatoes for Thanksgiving. Let's get cooking!
Servings: 6 people
Ingredients
- 2 pounds of red potatoes
- 4 tablespoons of salted butter
- 1/3 cup of milk
- salt and pepper to taste
- freshly chopped green onions optional
Instructions
- First, please know I leave the sinks on – you can peel your potatoes, yet I don’t fuss. Wash the potatoes, then cut them all relatively the same size. I usually cut each potato into 8 pieces.
- Add to a large pot of water and bring to a boil, then gently boil for 15-20 minutes, until a knife easily slices the potato.
- Drain and rinse, then put them back in the pot. Add the butter, milk, salt and pepper.
- Mash well and then dish out into a serving dish.
- Top with the freshly chopped green onions, and you’re good to go.
