A well known chef’s tip: “Stop adding milk or water to your mashed potatoes. This ingredient makes them creamier than at the restaurant!”

Mix to Perfection: Add the milk or cream, butter (if using), salt, and nutmeg (if using) to the mashed potatoes. Use a hand mixer or a potato masher to whip the mixture until it’s smooth and creamy.
Serve & Garnish: Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving dish. Garnish with fresh chives, bacon bits, or a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese for an extra touch of flavor and presentation.
Variations to Elevate Your Mash
Gluten-Free: Ensure that all your chosen additives, such as butter and milk, are certified gluten-free to accommodate dietary needs.
Vegan: Easily adapt this recipe by swapping dairy butter and milk for plant-based alternatives like coconut cream or olive oil.
Low-Carb Hack: For a lower-carb option, replace the milk with ½ cup heavy cream and simply omit the butter.
Gourmet Twist: For an even bolder flavor experience, swirl in ½ cup of goat cheese or sun-dried tomatoes to create exciting new layers of taste in your mashed potatoes.
Serve these transformative mashed potatoes with a classic roast chicken, alongside rich gravy, or with a crisp green salad for a balanced meal. What’s your go-to comfort food side dish?
