Achieving Perfect Mashed Potatoes Without Boiling

Preparation:

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Wash and dry 2 pounds of starchy potatoes.

Baking:

Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack or on a baking sheet.

Bake for about 45-60 minutes, or until the potatoes are easily pierced with a fork.

Mashing:

Once baked, carefully cut the potatoes in half and scoop out the flesh into a bowl.
Add warm milk, cream, or melted butter, and mash until smooth.
By opting for steaming or baking, you can enhance the flavor and texture of your mashed potatoes, making them a delightful addition to any meal.
