Ingredients

  • 2 pounds Potatoes, washed, peeled, and cut in cubes
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher or Sea Salt divided (more or less to taste)
  • 2 Tablespoons Unsalted butter
  • 1 Tablespoon Parmesan Cheese optional
  • 1 cup Warm Milk
  • Black Pepper

Optional Add-ins

  • Roasted Garlic
  • Grated Cheese
  • Herbs
  • Caramelized Onions

Instructions

  • Cut potatoes into small cubes and add to large pot with 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and cold water that just covers potatoes. Bring to boil, then reduce to a low boil and cook until fork tender. It will take about 15 minutes.
  • Drain water and add butter, parmesan, remaining salt, black pepper, and milk. Use a potato masher to blend the mixture until a smooth and creamy texture forms. Adjust salt if needed. Serve immediately.

Notes

Dairy free milk you can use:
Soy
Almond
How to store leftovers:
Allow the mashed potatoes to cool down completely. Place in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
How to freeze:
I don’t advise freezing mashed potatoes as they will lose texture. If you want to freeze, divide into portions, place in ziplock bags and freeze. Defrost completely before reheating.
How to reheat:
Reheat in the microwave on low medium heat until warm through.
