Best Mashed Potatoes Ever
 
 
Author:
Serves: 3-4
Ingredients
  • 6 potatoes
  • ½ -1cup water
  • 1 cup milk (we use plant silk)
  • Salt and any flavoring of your choice to taste (optional)
Instructions
  1. Peel and dice 6 middle-sized potatoes.
  2. Choose a pot that will fit the potatoes, so that it is 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 gets too hot to touch, turn the heat down to medium low/low. Do not uncover the lid.
  6. Let it steam for 25 minutes then check to see if the potatoes are done. You want the potatoes to be well done. It 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 (depends on the potato variety), add more milk till you get the consistency you like.
