How to Make Best Damn Mashed Potatoes
- Peel and quarter 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes.
- Place potatoes in a large stockpot, cover with cold water, and bring to a boil over high heat. Cook until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
- While potatoes are cooking, melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter in a large bowl.
- Drain the cooked potatoes thoroughly.
- Use a potato ricer or a sturdy masher to thoroughly mash the potatoes directly into the bowl with the melted butter.
- Stir in 1/2 cup heavy cream, 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, and 1 teaspoon seasoned salt.
- Add 1-2 cloves minced garlic (optional) and additional salt and pepper to taste. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
- For extra creamy texture and enhanced flavor, you can transfer the mashed potatoes to a greased baking dish, and bake at 300°F (150°C) for 20 minutes.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
