✨ Classic Creamy Mashed Potatoes – Holiday Comfort Recipe

Ingredients

• • 2 ⅞ lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cubed
• • ⅞ cup whole milk, warmed
• • ⅞ cup unsalted butter, softened
• • 1 ⅞ tsp salt, or to taste
• • ⅞ tsp freshly grated nutmeg
• • Fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

1. 1

   Place cubed potatoes in a large pot. Cover with cold water by 1 inch. Add 1 tsp salt. Bring to boil, then reduce heat to medium. Simmer 15-18 minutes until tender when pierced with a fork. Drain thoroughly in colander. Let rest 5 minutes.

2. 2

   Return potatoes to pot. Add butter, milk, salt, and nutmeg. Using a potato ricer or hand masher, mash until smooth. For ultra-creamy texture, pass through ricer twice. Work quickly while potatoes are hot to prevent separation.

3. 3

   Transfer to serving bowl. Let rest 5-10 minutes. Garnish with parsley before serving. For make-ahead: refrigerate up to 4 hours, reheat gently.
