Mashed Potatoes Recipe

Creamy and buttery mashed potatoes made with a stand mixer for the perfect consistency.

Ingredients

• 5 lbs russet potatoes, peeled and quartered
• Water enough to cover the potatoes in the pot
• 1 cup butter, sliced into ½ tbsp chunks
• 1 cup milk
• Fine sea or table salt, to taste (I use around 1 tsp)
• Fresh ground black pepper, to taste (I use around ½ tsp)

Instructions

1. Cook potatoes, along with enough water to cover them, in a pressure cooker for 7 minutes on high pressure with a quick pressure release (or boil them for 20 minutes)
2. Drain the potatoes thoroughly and then add them to a stand mixer
3. Add the butter to the still-hot potatoes in the stand mixer
4. Mix the potatoes and butter at stir (or low) speed until butter is melted and combined with the potatoes
5. Add the milk to the potatoes and mix at stir (or low) speed until thoroughly combined and creamy
