The Best Homemade Mashed Potatoes

Mashed Potatoes are one of my favorite side dishes. I love them with just about any dinner and holiday feasts are not complete without them. I make mashed potatoes all sorts of ways, this version is definitely the easiest and most convenient.

We are using evaporated milk to achieve that ultra creamy texture. Plus, you can always keep a can of evaporated milk in your pantry for those mashed potato cravings.

Which Potatoes Are Best For Mashed Potatoes

Typically people use russet or Yukon gold for mashed potatoes. I prefer Yukon gold potatoes. They have a creamier texture and the flavor is better too.

Ingredients Needed For Creamy Potatoes (screenshot for grocery list)

• Yukon Gold Potatoes
• Unsalted Butter
• Evaporated Milk
• Garlic Powder
• Onion Powder
• Salt/Pepper
• Parsley

How To Make Homemade Mashed Potatoes

1. Peel and cut potatoes into even sized chunks. Transfer to large pot, cover with water, add salt to water and bring to a boil. Gently boil until fork tender. Drain and return to pot.
2. Heat potatoes over low to cook off any remaining water. Mash or cream with hand mixer.
3. Add butter, evaporated milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper. Stir and heat until butter is melted and potatoes are to your desired consistency.
4. Serve topped with butter and chopped parsley.
