Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Russet potatoes
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 1 cup Carnation evaporated milk
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks, about 1 1/2 to 2 inches wide.
Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water.
Bring the water to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce to medium heat and let the potatoes simmer for 15-20 minutes or until they are fork-tender.
Drain the potatoes in a colander and return them to the empty pot. Allow them to sit for 1-2 minutes to let the excess moisture evaporate.
Add the butter to the hot potatoes and use a potato masher or ricer to mash the potatoes until smooth and lump-free.
Gradually pour in the Carnation evaporated milk while continuing to mash or stir until the potatoes reach your desired consistency.
Season the mashed potatoes with ground black pepper and optional garlic powder, adjusting salt to taste as needed.
Spoon the mashed potatoes into a serving bowl and garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy as a comforting side dish!
