For the Mashed Potatoes:

 

Here’s a simple, creamy Mashed Potatoes recipe 🥔✨

Ingredients

• 1 kg (about 2 lb) potatoes (Yukon Gold or Russet)
• 3–4 tbsp butter
• ½ to ¾ cup warm milk (or cream for extra richness)
• Salt (to taste)
• Black pepper (to taste)
• Optional: garlic powder or a clove of boiled garlic

Instructions

1. Peel & cut the potatoes into equal chunks.
2. Boil in salted water for 15–20 minutes, until very tender.
3. Drain well and return potatoes to the hot pot for 1 minute (this removes excess water).
4. Mash using a masher or fork.
5. Add butter and mix until melted.
6. Gradually add warm milk, mashing until smooth and creamy.
7. Season with salt & black pepper. Taste and adjust.

Tips for extra deliciousness 😋

• Add cream cheese (1–2 tbsp) for ultra-creamy texture
• Add grated cheese if serving with meat dishes
• A drizzle of olive oil instead of butter works too
