📋 Recipe
How to Make Perfect Mashed Potatoes
Follow my guide on How to Make Perfect Mashed Potatoes for an easy mashed potatoes recipe you will love!
-
Large pot to boil water
-
A mixer (a hand mixer works well)
-
A large spoon
-
Mixing Bowl
-
or Instant pot pressure cooker
- 2½ pounds potatoes cut into small chunks
- ½ stick butter
- 5 Tablespoons salt
- 2 cups whole milk
- Salt & pepper for seasoning
- Chopped green onions for garnish optional
- Additional melted butter for flavor optional
Stovetop Potatoes
-
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add salt to the pot of boiling water, then bring it back to a boil.
-
Add potatoes to water and boil for 20 to 25 minutes until tender.
-
Drain water from the pot. Using a hand mixer on low, whip well until the potatoes are crumbly.
Then, add half a stick of chopped butter to your pot with the potatoes.
-
Continue mixing well until butter is fully mixed through and potatoes are creamy. Slowly add two cups of milk and salt and pepper while whipping.
-
Add in melted butter if desired. Mix with spoon, then top with green onions if desired, and serve!
Instant Pot Potatoes
-
Heat a 6 qt. Instant Pot and add peeled whole potatoes.
-
Cover halfway with water (do not fully submerge).
-
Secure the lid and cook on high pressure for 12 minutes.
-
Release the pressure naturally. Carefully remove the inside pot and drain, then return to the cooker.
-
Use a hand mixer on low to mash them, but be careful not to over-mix. Add in butter 1 tablespoon at a time while continuing to blend.
-
When the butter melts and they're completely smooth, add whole milk. Blend well, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Creamiest mashed potatoes: Starting with the boiled potatoes and whipping them until fluffy, then slowly adding butter and milk, makes the creamiest potatoes. You can use a hand mixer to make mashed potatoes, but for ultra creamy mashed potatoes, pass them through a potato ricer after cooking!
- Make-ahead mashed potatoes: For a make-ahead mashed potatoes recipe you can prepare in the oven, follow the instructions above, then store until ready to serve (up to 3-4 days). When ready to serve, whisk an egg and brush it over the top. Bake at 350°F for 30 minutes, or until the top is slightly browned.
