Como fazer Mashed Potatoes With Variations

Place potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with enough water to submerge them completely.
Add 1 teaspoon of salt.
Bring to a boil over high heat.
Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until potatoes are very tender and easily pierced with a fork.
Drain the potatoes well in a colander.
Return potatoes to the saucepan. Place over low heat and cook for 2-3 minutes, shaking occasionally, to slightly dry them out.
Meanwhile, combine milk (or cream) and butter (or oil) in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 1-2 minutes, or until steaming.
Add the warm milk mixture to the potatoes.
Roughly mash the potatoes with a fork.
Using an electric mixer, beat the potatoes until smooth and creamy. Do not overbeat; otherwise, they will become gluey.
Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
For variations, add the desired ingredients (see below) before beating with the electric mixer.
Spoon mashed potatoes into a warm serving dish. Sprinkle with chopped parsley. Serve immediately or freeze for later use (see freezing instructions below).
**Freezing Instructions:** Spoon mashed potatoes into airtight containers, label, seal, and freeze.
**Variations:**
**Pesto Potatoes:** Omit butter/oil. Add 1 cup pesto and 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese before beating.
**Mustard Mash:** Use 1/4 cup butter. Add 1/2 cup grainy Dijon mustard before beating.
**Lemony Mash:** Use 2 tbsp olive oil. Add 1/2 cup chopped parsley and 1 tbsp lemon zest before beating.
**Cheese and Onion Mash:** Use 1/4 cup butter. Add 1 cup shredded cheddar, 1 cup shredded Swiss, and 1/2 cup chopped green onions before beating.
**Posh French Mash (Aligot):** Add 2 peeled garlic cloves to potatoes before boiling. Drain well, returning garlic with potatoes. Mash as above, using 1/4 cup butter. Add 1 cup shredded Gruyère cheese before beating.
**Caesar Potatoes:** Omit butter/oil. Add 1 cup thick Caesar dressing and 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese before beating.
