Zubereitung von Mom's Mashed Potatoes
- Peel and quarter 3 pounds of Yukon Gold potatoes.
- Place potatoes in a 6-quart pot and cover with enough cold water to submerge them by about an inch.
- Bring the water to a rolling boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until a fork easily pierces the potatoes.
- Drain the potatoes thoroughly in a colander.
- Return the potatoes to the pot. Add 1/2 cup (1 stick) of unsalted butter, 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper.
- Using a potato masher or electric mixer on low speed, mash the potatoes until mostly smooth but still slightly chunky. (Leave some texture for extra flavor and satisfaction!)
- Gradually add 1 cup of warm milk or cream, beating until the mixture is light and fluffy. Add more milk if needed to reach desired consistency.
- Serve immediately as a delicious side dish. For a Thanksgiving feast, start preparing your mashed potatoes 20 minutes before your turkey is finished baking.
