Notes

Tips for the perfect mashed potatoes:

  • The trick to good mashed potato is picking a good potato. I like Yukon Golds for the sweeter creamier flavor and texture.
  • To get a great texture, use a ricer.
  • When mashing, don’t want to overwork the potato because it will can get a gooey, gummy texture.
