What Ingredients do I Need for Mashed Potatoes?

Instructions: How to Make Mashed Potatoes

  • Boil
    Peel and chop the potato into uniform 1-inch cubes. Place in salted cold water, bring to a boil, and simmer for 12–15 minutes until tender.
  • Steam Dry
    Drain the potatoes thoroughly and return them to the hot pot for 30 seconds over low heat to allow excess steam to escape (this ensures a fluffy, non-gluey mash).
  • Mash & Fold
    Mash the potatoes using a ricer or masher. Fold in the ghee/butter and your choice of warm liquid until smooth and creamy.
