How to Make Perfect Mashed Potatoes

We recommend that you hand mash potatoes to keep that fluffy creamy texture. Electric mixers are great time savers but it is very easy to over process the potatoes and end up with a thick gummy consistency. This occurs when the starch in the potatoes is broken down. It’s best to mash potatoes when they are hot and add warm ingredients. For extremely fluffy potatoes, peel potatoes, boil and use a ricer to mash the potatoes. Add the warm ingredients with a few mixing strokes.

The nutrients in potatoes resides just under the skins. Not only will you increase your vitamin and mineral consumption, you can save time too.
