Making your mashed potatoes

Here are a couple of ways to make these healthier mashed potatoes. A lot of times I just like using my stove top but you may be an instant pot person so either way works.

How to make mashed potatoes on your stovetop

• Cook the potatoes – Place peeled chunks of potato into a large pot of water and bring to the boil. Simmer for 15 mins.
• Mash – Drain the pot, add the remaining ingredients to the potato chunks then, using a masher, mash until smooth.

How to make mashed potatoes in an instant pot

• Cook the potatoes – Place the peeled chunks of potato in your Instant Pot and add two cups of water. Set for 10 mins on high.
• Mash – Drain the pot, add the remaining ingredients then, using a masher, mash until smooth.

Recipe notes and tips

• To ensure evenly cooked potatoes, be sure to cut them into similar size cubes. Smaller cubes mean less cooking time.
• Season your water well. Adding a good amount of salt to the potatoes as they boil means not as much salt will be needed once you mash.
• Make sure to drain the potatoes well, this will give you creamy mash that’s not watery.
• You can mix different potatoes for a twist on the texture.
• For the extra smooth mash, warm the milk before mixing it with the potatoes. These allow the milk to be absorbed better, giving you smooth mashed potatoes.
• Invest in a ricer for restaurant-quality mash. Running the potatoes through a ricer before mashing will give you that velvety smooth consistency!
• Top with herbs and chopped green onion.
