Best Mashed Potatoes Ever
 
 
Author:
Serves: 3-4
Ingredients
  • 6 potatoes
  • ½ -1cup water
  • 1 cup milk (we use plant milk)
  • Salt and any flavoring of your choice to taste (optional)
Instructions
  1. Peel and dice six medium-sized potatoes.
  2. Choose a pot that will fit the potatoes and keep them at least half full.
  3. Cover the bottom of the pot in about half an inch of water (use less or more of the cup of water as needed) and add the potatoes and salt if used
  4. Cover the pot with the lid and turn the heat to medium-high.
  5. When the lid is too hot to touch, reduce the heat to medium-low/low. Do not uncover the lid.
  6. Let it steam for 25 minutes, then check whether the potatoes are done. You want the potatoes cooked well. At this point, there should be little to no water left at the bottom of the pot.
  7. Add the milk to the potatoes.
  8. Mash the potatoes. If the mashed potatoes are too dry (depending on the potato variety), add more milk until you reach the consistency you like.
