Hot to Make Buttery Mashed Potatoes
Love buttery mashed potatoes? I will show you a new way to prepare mashed potatoes. We are going to begin to make this mashed potato recipe by using potatoes that are baked in the oven. We will only add butter, salt, and pepper to the mashed potatoes.
2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
kosher salt for the pan
4 to 5 ounces butter
salt and pepper to season the mashed potatoes
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Sprinkle a layer of kosher salt onto a baking pan. Wash potatoes and place potatoes on the baking pan. The potatoes cooking time will depend on their size, smaller potatoes should take around 45 minutes or so, larger potatoes will take longer. Test potatoes for doneness by piercing with a fork. If the fork goes in easily, they are done.
Place potatoes into a potato ricer, mash the potato through. Place a couple of tablespoons of butter into a medium sized pan on medium heat. Add potatoes, use a spatula to gently stir the potatoes and add butter a small amount at a time. Make sure the butter melts before adding additional butter. Season with salt and pepper.
