Super creamy and pillowy soft!​

​

Some of you might think this is super basic and who even needs a mashed potatoes recipe. Yes, my first thoughts as well, if I am completely honest :D However, very often when I make something very simple for family or friends I still get questions like "How did you get it so soft? What did you add to make it taste so good?", that is why I try to think simpler and share whatever recipe I think is wort sharing. And so even if this is a very simple recipe, I think it is a really great recipe :) So here you are! :)

​

To be honest I never measure any ingredients when I make my mashed potatoes. That is why the recipe is not very exact, but it has about measurements. I think that is also the best way for you to learn when you don't pay to much attention on the measurements, but rather you pay attention to the consistency. In my opinion that is the best trick to achieving a perfectly soft mashed potatoes. I find that the most important part of making the mashed potatoes is when you start adding the milk (or cream if you prefer to use cream). You want to add little by little while mashing the potatoes, this will incorporate more air and also add softness and will allow you to see how the texture and consistency develops. That way you can decide when you are happy with it and when it is exactly to your taste. As I am not too fussy and I don't mind little bits in my mash I don't push mine through a sieve, but if you want a really smooth mash then you can do that at the end.

I hope you found this really basic and simple recipe with all its tipps and tricks useful.​ And I hope this mashed potatoes will find its way to your holiday and weekly meal plans :)
