You can also use Russet potatoes. See my discussion on the difference between these potatoes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Salt <\/strong>&#8211; You&#8217;ll use salt twice in this recipe. Once in the water as the potatoes are cooking, then as a seasoning at the end.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Butter<\/strong> &#8211; Use salted or unsalted butter or Ghee based on your preference. If dairy-free, use vegan butter.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Milk<\/strong> &#8211; I love to use whole milk or half and half. You can use 2% or, if dairy-free, your favorite dairy-free milk.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Black Pepper<\/strong> &#8211; I use freshly ground black pepper. You can also use white pepper if you prefer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-make-mashed-potatoes\">How to Make Mashed Potatoes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-prep-and-cook-the-potatoes\">Prep and Cook the Potatoes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After scrubbing and peeling the potatoes, I cut them into 2-inch cubes, place them in a large pot or\u00a0Dutch oven, and cover them with cold water, plus about \u00bd inch more. I cook them over medium heat until they come to a full boil. Add the salt, reduce the heat, and let them simmer for about 15 minutes until they are fork-tender.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Drain the water off the potatoes, return the pan to the stove, and heat on medium-high until the excess moisture has evaporated. This takes about 3 minutes. Be careful not to let your potatoes burn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"1050\" src=\"https:\/\/addapinch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/creamy-mashed-potatoes-recipe_DSC2031-1-700x1050.jpg\" alt=\"Image of potatoes in a Dutch oven covered with water. \" class=\"wp-image-36211\" srcset=\"https:\/\/addapinch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/creamy-mashed-potatoes-recipe_DSC2031-1-700x1050.jpg 700w, https:\/\/addapinch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/creamy-mashed-potatoes-recipe_DSC2031-1-276x414.jpg 276w, https:\/\/addapinch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/creamy-mashed-potatoes-recipe_DSC2031-1-128x192.jpg 128w, https:\/\/addapinch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/creamy-mashed-potatoes-recipe_DSC2031-1-378x567.jpg 378w, https:\/\/addapinch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/creamy-mashed-potatoes-recipe_DSC2031-1-400x600.jpg 400w, https:\/\/addapinch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/creamy-mashed-potatoes-recipe_DSC2031-1-1200x1800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/addapinch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/creamy-mashed-potatoes-recipe_DSC2031-1-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/addapinch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/creamy-mashed-potatoes-recipe_DSC2031-1-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/addapinch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/creamy-mashed-potatoes-recipe_DSC2031-1-600x900.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-heat-the-butter-and-milk-nbsp-for-the-creamiest-mashed-potatoes\">Heat the Butter and Milk&nbsp;for the Creamiest Mashed Potatoes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You never want to add cold ingredients to hot potatoes.
