  • Step 2: Drain water, and add remaining ingredients.

  • Step 3: Mash until smooth with a potato masher. Do not whip continually with a beater, or the potatoes will get gooey and starchy as the gluten breaks down.

  • Step 4: Note: You can turn these potatoes into garlic mashed potatoes by adding 3 cloves roasted garlic when you mash.
