Light And Fluffy Mashed Potatoes Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: russet potato, cold water, kosher salt, unsalted butter, heavy cream, whole milk, freshly ground black pepper, fresh chives

Provided by Pierce Abernathy

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

5 lb russet potato, peeled and cut into large chunks
cold water
1 tablespoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed
1 cup heavy cream
½ cup whole milk
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped, for garnish

Steps:

  • Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add the salt. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 20 minutes longer.
  • Drain the potatoes and press through a potato ricer into a large bowl. Set aside.
  • Heat the butter, cream, and milk in a small pot over low heat until simmering.
  • Pour the cream mixture over the potatoes and stir to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Garnish with chives, if desired.
  • Note: A potato ricer gives these potatoes a super fluffy texture, but you can use a hand masher if you don’t own one.
  • Enjoy!

MASHED POTATOES RECIPE - NYT COOKING
Mashed potatoes are very forgiving, and with a good masher, hot potatoes and enough butter and salt, cooks can accommodate religionists of the fluffy style and partisans of the creamy and dense. Be openhanded with salt and butter but stingy with milk, which will flatten out the bright, earthy potato taste. (And for everything you need to know to make perfect potatoes, visit our potato guide.)

OUR FAVORITE HOMEMADE MASHED POTATOES - EASY RECIP…
Our favorite way to make mashed potatoes. Think of this as an everyday recipe – one that you can adapt based on what you have in the fridge. We call for 1 cup of liquid to be added to the potatoes. At home, we usually use equal parts milk to chicken stock. You could use all milk or all stock (chicken or vegetable). Or, replace some milk with heavy cream or sour cream for extra decadent potatoes. A tablespoon or two of cream cheese wouldn’t hurt, either. The trick to great mashed potatoes is seasoning up front. Adding a hearty amount of salt to the water seasons the potatoes while they cook – we use at least 1 tablespoon. This is similar to salting pasta water.
