The Secret to the BEST Mashed Potatoes

by

1. Cook the Potatoes (The Secret Step!)

  • Place potatoes in a pot.
  • Add milk instead of water (just enough to cover or almost cover the potatoes).
  • Add garlic if using.
  • Simmer gently over medium-low heat until potatoes are fork-tender (15–20 minutes).

2. Mash

  • Drain slightly if needed (reserve a bit of the cooking milk).
  • Mash the potatoes directly in the pot.

3. Make It Creamy

  • Add butter and a splash of the warm milk used for cooking.
  • Mash until smooth and creamy.

4. Season

  • Add salt and black pepper to taste.

🍽 Serve

  • Serve hot with extra butter on top
  • Perfect with chicken, steak, or gravy
