Equipment
- Large saucepan
- Large spoon
- Potato Masher or ricer
- Measuring Cups and Spoons
Ingredients
- ½ lb Russet potatoes (about 2 medium-sized)
- 4 cloves garlic (peeled)
- 4 tsp salt (to taste)
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- 500 g skim milk
- 1 tsp black pepper (or to taste)
- ½ cup fresh parsley (chopped)
Instructions
- Start by peeling and chopping the Russet potatoes into even-sized chunks. Add them to a saucepan along with the garlic cloves and salt. Cover with water, bring it to a boil over high heat, and cook for about 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Once the potatoes are cooked, drain the water and keep the potatoes and garlic in the pot. You’ll want to let the potatoes stay in the hot pan for a minute to help get rid of any excess moisture.
- After draining, return the pot to the stove on low heat. Allow it to sit for 2 to 3 minutes to help dry out any lingering moisture. This step ensures your mashed potatoes are nice and creamy without being too watery.
- While the potatoes are drying, combine the milk and butter in a small jar. Place the jar in a preheated oven at a low temperature for 5 minutes, just long enough for the butter to melt and the milk to warm.
- Once your milk and butter are melted and warm, pour the mixture over the cooked potatoes. Stir everything together until the potatoes are coated with the creamy mixture.
- Use a potato masher to mash the potatoes until they’re smooth and creamy. If you like your mashed potatoes extra fluffy, feel free to mash a bit longer.
- Add the black pepper, more salt (if needed), and the freshly chopped parsley. Stir everything together to combine, and you’re almost there!
- Your homemade Boston Market Mashed Potatoes are ready to enjoy! Serve them as a perfect side dish to any meal, and watch them disappear fast!
Tips
While making mashed potatoes is relatively simple, a few tips can take your Boston Market Mashed Potatoes Recipe from good to great:
- Avoid Overcooking the Potatoes: Make sure you don’t overboil your potatoes. They should be fork-tender, not mushy, or they will be harder to mash.
- Adjust Consistency: If your mashed potatoes are too thick, you can add a little more milk or butter to achieve your desired consistency.
- Add Herbs for Extra Flavor: If you want to add some extra flair, try including fresh herbs like thyme, rosemary, or chives for additional flavor.
- Season to Taste: Don’t forget to taste your mashed potatoes and adjust the salt and pepper to suit your preferences.
