Just in time for your Thanksgiving table…or even on a normal weeknight, mashed potatoes from scratch are a can-do addition to your menu.
Mashed Potatoes (makes 4-5 servings)
4 medium potatoes
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
½ cup milk
½ teaspoon salt
- Peel potatoes and cut into bite-sized pieces. Rinse and drain in a colander, then put into saucepan with just enough water to cover the potatoes.
- Heat water to boiling. Allow to boil for 15 minutes or until potatoes are fork-tender.
- Drain water, then add butter, milk and salt.
- Mash all ingredients with a potato masher, or use a mixer to mash to desired consistency. Serve immediately.
