Most of the mashed potatoes recipes are easy, but with this one I will try to cut out all of my babbling and just stick to the facts. Ups…well here I go again…
For this Fast, Easy, Basic Mashed Potatoes Recipe you will need:
2 pounds russet or red potatoes
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
3/4 to 1 cup milk
salt and pepper
- Peel potatoes.
- Cut them in 4 pieces and cover with cold water.
- Boil and then simmer the potatoes in salted water until they are soft and tender (15-20minutes).
- Drain potatoes, put them back on low heat for a minute or so.
- Take them off.
- Add butter and milk.
- Mash the potatoes until they are smooth and add some more salt and pepper for the taste (try them).
That’s it.
