Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Russet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Whole-grain mustard
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chives (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into evenly-sized chunks, approximately 1-2 inches in size. This ensures even cooking.
Place the potatoes in a large pot, cover them with cold water, and add 1 teaspoon of salt. Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat.
Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook the potatoes for 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender but not falling apart.
While the potatoes are cooking, warm the milk in a small saucepan over low heat. Alternatively, you can use a microwave-safe container and heat it for 30-60 seconds in the microwave. Avoid boiling the milk.
Drain the potatoes thoroughly and return them to the pot. Allow the residual heat to evaporate any remaining moisture for 1-2 minutes.
Add the butter to the hot potatoes and mash them using a potato masher or a ricer, depending on your texture preference (chunky or smooth).
Gradually pour in the warm milk while continuing to mash and mix until the potatoes are creamy and light.
Stir in the Dijon mustard, whole-grain mustard, 1 teaspoon of salt, and black pepper. Adjust the seasoning to taste, adding more salt or mustard if desired.
Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving dish and, if desired, garnish with freshly chopped chives for a pop of color and flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy your tangy, flavorful mustard mashed potatoes.
