How to Make Artichoke Mashed Potatoes

  1. Peel and chop 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes into 1-inch cubes.
  2. Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until potatoes are fork-tender.

  4. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot.
  5. Add 1/2 cup (1 stick) of unsalted butter, 1/2 cup milk, and the chopped artichoke hearts to the pot.
  6. Mash the potatoes and artichokes together using a potato masher or electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Add more milk if needed to reach desired consistency.
  7. Stir in salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
