How To Make Homemade Mashed Potatoes

September 16, 2022 By Lauren Jay Leave a Comment

Homemade mashed potatoes are the perfect side for family roast dinners. You’ll surely love these easy mashed potatoes.  Let’s share the love and learn how to make creamy, fluffy mashed potatoes with this delicious recipe.

Homemade Mashed Potatoes

Ingredients:

How to Make Mashed Potatoes

  • 1 lb. potatoes
  • ⅓ cup butter
  • ¼ cup cream
  • Milk (to desired texture)
  • Salt
  • Pepper and nutmeg (optional)

 

Procedure:

Step 1

How to Make Homemade Mashed Potatoes

Peel the potatoes, cut them into similar sized pieces, and place them into a saucepan.

Step 2

How to Make Mashed Potatoes from Scratch

Cover them completely with water, and heat the saucepan over the stove, until the water is boiling.

Step 3

Simmer until they are soft enough to easily poke with a fork. You should be able to pull the potatoes apart if you try. If they don’t come apart, the potatoes aren’t ready yet. The amount of time will depend upon the size of your potato pieces, and the type of potato being used, but it will usually take between 15-30 minutes.

Step 4

How do you make mashed potatoes

Strain the water out, and place your potatoes in a bowl.

Step 5

Mashed Potatoes

Use a potato masher or beaters to mash the potatoes. To ensure that my mashed potatoes aren’t lumpy, I press the potatoes through a potato ricer first, but that isn’t a necessary step. Not everybody has a potato ricer, after all.

Step 6

Mashed Potatoes Recipe

Cut your butter into small pieces, and add them, along with the cream, to the potatoes, blending all of the ingredients together.

Step 7

Add in small amounts of milk, mixing with each incorporation, until you get the desired consistency.

Step 8

Homemade Mashed Potato

Salt and pepper to taste. You can optionally also sprinkle a little ground nutmeg on top of your finished potatoes like they do at my favorite restaurant.
