Tips:
- Choose starchy potatoes like Russet or Yukon Gold for the creamiest mash.
- Boil the potatoes with the skins on to prevent them from becoming waterlogged, then peel after cooking.
- Heat the milk and butter together before adding to the potatoes to keep the mash warm and smooth.
- Mash the potatoes by hand or use a potato ricer for the fluffiest texture; avoid using a blender as it can make the potatoes gluey.
- Adjust the amount of herbs according to your taste preference for a personalized touch.
With a few simple ingredients and some fresh herbs, you can transform regular mashed potatoes into something extraordinary. Herbed potato mash is creamy, flavorful, and sure to be a hit at your dinner table. Enjoy this versatile side dish with your favorite main course for a complete and satisfying meal.
