How to Make Avocado Mashed Potatoes
- Place the peeled and quartered potatoes in a large pot. Cover with cold salted water and bring to a boil.
- Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until potatoes are easily pierced with a fork.
- While the potatoes simmer, prepare the avocado butter: In a small saucepan, combine the butter, lemon zest, lemon juice, and minced garlic. Cook over very low heat for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the butter is fragrant and slightly browned.
- Discard the garlic cloves (optional: leave in for a stronger garlic flavor).
- Drain the cooked potatoes well.
- Mash the potatoes using a potato masher or a hand mixer until smooth (or leave some lumps for a rustic texture).
- Gently fold in the mashed avocado and the garlic-infused butter.
- Stir in milk (optional) until desired creaminess is achieved.
- Season generously with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
