These ain’t just any mashed potatoes; we’re talking about a rich and creamy side dish that pairs well with everything from fried chicken to roasted veggies. You know how there’s that one dish every family has at the dinner table? This is about to be yours!
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and diced
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (because more butter makes everything better)
- 1 cup heavy cream or whole milk (for that extra richness)
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- Garlic powder (optional, if you’re feelin’ it)
- Chives or parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Start by boiling those potatoes in a large pot of salted water. Let them cook until they’re fork-tender, which should take about 15-20 minutes.
- Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. This is where the magic happens!
- Add your butter and start mashing those spuds—get ’em nice and smooth and creamy.
- Slowly pour in the heavy cream or milk. Keep mashing until it’s all combined and you’re left with the smoothest potatoes you’ve ever tasted.
- Season with salt, black pepper, and a sprinkle of garlic powder if you’re using it. Mix it all up until it’s seasoned just how you like it.
- Dish it out onto a pretty serving bowl, and don’t forget to sprinkle that chopped chives or parsley on top for a pop of color!
