Mashed potato recipes
The Ingredients
Ingredient Amount Notes
Yukon Gold potatoes 4 lbs The gold standard for creamy mashed potatoes
Unsalted butter 1 cup (2 sticks) Cut into cubes, room temperature
Heavy cream 1 cup Warm (not cold)
Whole milk ½ cup Warm (optional, for adjusting consistency)
Kosher salt 1 tablespoon Plus more to taste
White pepper ½ teaspoon Optional, for classic flavor (black pepper works too)
Why Yukon Golds? Their high starch content and thin skin create the creamiest texture. Russets work, but Yukon Golds are the gold standard.
