    01 Information
    • Grade easy
    • Serving 6 servings
    • Prep Time 15 Mins
    • Cook Time 20 Mins
    • Total Time 35 Mins
    02 Ingredients
      • Splash of cream or a dollop of sour cream, optional
      • 1/4 tsp. fresh ground black pepper
      • 3 tbsp. butter
      • 1 cup milk or chicken stock, or a combination
      • Salt
      • 2 pounds yellow, red, or white potatoes
    03 Method
    • Step 1
      Scrub then dice potatoes, making sure they are similar in size. (We often leave the skin on the potatoes, but it is completely up to you).
    • Step 2
      Drop potatoes in a large saucepan, add a tablespoon of salt and cover with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat then reduce to a low simmer. Cook until the potatoes fall apart when pierced with a fork, 15 to 20 minutes.
    • Step 3
      Heat the milk or chicken stock, and the butter until warm and the butter has melted. Drain then return the potatoes to the saucepan and cover with a clean dishtowel.
    • Step 4
      Leave them for about 5 minutes to absorb excess steam that can make mashed potatoes watery.
    • Step 5
      Pour in the warm butter mixture then mash the potatoes until creamy. (Don’t worry if the potatoes seem a bit thin at first, they absorb the liquid after a minute or two). Stir in the pepper and splash of cream or sour cream (if using).
    • Step 6
      Taste for seasoning and adjust with additional salt and pepper. Let stand for 5 minutes so that the potatoes thicken, and then serve.
