Step 3: Mash to Perfection
✅ Once the potatoes are soft, use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a large mixing bowl.
✅ Reserve some of the cooking liquid (about 1/2 cup), as you’ll use it to adjust the texture later.
✅ Mash the potatoes using:
🔹 A potato masher (for a coarser, rustic texture)
🔹 A potato ricer (for extra soft and fluffy potatoes)
✅ Slowly mix in the reserved milk and butter mixture, a little at a time, until you reach the desired consistency.
Step 4: Season and Serve
✅ Add black pepper and adjust the salt if needed.
✅ For extra flavor, you can add a little more butter on top and mix it in while the potatoes are hot.
✅ Garnish with fresh chives or parsley for a touch of color and freshness.
Serve immediately and enjoy the creamiest, tastiest mashed potatoes of your life!
