This is officially my favorite mashed potatoe
recipe. Super creamy! Great idea with letting the steam out of the potatoes prior to mashing. This will be my go-to recipe for mashies!

wonderful- simple and delicious, thank you. p.s. I sometimes will finely chop and sauté a little bit of onion and garlic and add that too.

Your recipe is so great I couldn’t stop eating the mashed potatoes I made for Thanksgiving. Even the grandbaby, who just started solid foods, loved them, and now she has the thighs to prove it. 😄. Thank you!

I’ve been using this recipe for our Thanksgiving cried for 7 years! I use half and half and add a little Himalayan salt – best potatoes to go with turkey gravy!!

These are amazing and i love the techniques you use. Putting them back into a hot pot is a must and adding the butter at room temperature slices rather than melted is how the professionals do it! I’ve done a lot of researching the best mashed potato techniques and this is by far the most thorough and “right” techinal way. Thank you for another great recipe! I love that you take the extra steps for a great recipe rather than just the “easy” way.

First of all, love your recipes! I’m a big mashed potato lover and I have started adding chicken bouillon cubes to the water that I boil the potatoes in. Sometimes I use the Knorr Swiss cubes and sometimes the Lee Kum Kee chicken bouillon powder in a can. I discovered this product when I was in my Thai cooking phase and it’s great. Of course the added salt will need to be adjusted to taste.
This has become the new favorite of my family.

In reply to Lettuce and Tomatoes. I do have sour cream in the add-ins. It is a GREAT addition. I like ricing my potatoes too. It makes them so creamy! :)

I looked up this recipe after you mentioned it in your chicken meatballs recipe. These potatoes look amazing! I know that you like researching and testing. If you decide to make a mashed potato video, I suggest that you try adding some sour cream to your recipe to see if you like it. That’s what I do. I also use a ricer, which I highly recommend, because it makes it almost impossible to over-stir the potatoes. I know that you prefer to make your recipes as as accessible as possible to a wide audience, but these ricers are relatively inexpensive. A hand cranked food mill is another option for mashed potatoes and it can be used to make homemade tomato sauce too. Thanks for all you do to help us cook better food!
