Creamy Whipped Potatoes
Made with only four simple ingredients, these fluffy and creamy Whipped Potatoes make the perfect side dish for family meals.
Ingredients
- 5 lbs Russet potatoes or Yukon Gold washed and peeled
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 - 1 1/2 cups milk
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1/2 inch pieces.
- Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold, salted water. There should be about an inch more water than needed to cover the potatoes.
- Bring the potatoes to a boil and then lower the temperature to medium. Let the potatoes simmer until they are fork tender, about 15 minutes.
- Drain the potatoes and place them in a large bowl. Add the butter and about half of the milk and begin to whip the potatoes with a hand-held mixer on low speed or with a stand mixer. Whip the potatoes until smooth, adding more milk as needed and seasoning them with salt and pepper. [Be careful not to over-whip the potatoes as they can become gummy. Whip only until smooth.]
