I use Yukon Gold or Red skin potatoes with heavy cream or half & half, butter, salt and pepper. Sometimes I will throw in some garlic while boiling the potatoes, sometimes roasted garlic right before mashing.

Milk, Pepper, Garlic, Onion Powder, Salt, Butter and Cream Cheese (It makes them extra fluffy!)

Re: Mashed Potatoes

I usually make them "dirty" - with the skins on - because I hate peeling them.

DH does the mashing..milk, sour cream and a bit of butter, S&P.

Re: Mashed Potatoes

I always use red potatoes and leave the skins on. I boil them until soft and then put them in a mixing bowl, add a little butter and milk and mix them with a mixer until they look like mashed potatoes. Occassionaly if i have some whipping cream on hand, i will use some whipping cream intead of milk. Add a little black pepper, some sour cream and serve. DH loves them and so do my IL's.

Re: Mashed Potatoes

Reds or Yukons. I peel yukons and leave the skin on the reds. Depends on my mood.

Boil and drain, add butter and warm milk, S&P...mash with a manual masher. Add more butter and warm milk and whip with an electric mixer..adjust salt and pepper and add some garlic powder.

A whole head of roasted garlic, butter and milk (and S&P).

Not a huge potatoe person so they have to taste like something.

Put the potatoes in COLD water b/c they heat evenly. Try to cut them about the same size.

Re: Mashed Potatoes

I like Yukon Gold's mashed with a head of roasted garlic, lots of cream or milk, a stick of butter, tons of sea salt and fresh black pepper, and sour cream. Cream cheese in them is also good.
