Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 5 lb. Peeled Russet Potatoes You want to use these or white potatoes, when they cook up they become extra mushy, versus a red potato which holds it's shape
  • A large pot of boiling water
  • 1 Tbsp. Salt
  • *Optional* If you want to make it super unhealthy but super delicious- 1 stick of unsalted butter
  • 2 Tbsp. of Butter will probably do the trick though.
  • 1 Cup of Whole Milk

Method
 

  1. Boil your peeled mashed potatoes until they are nice and soft. Then in a very large bowl, start putting the potatoes (one by one) into your ricer. Press down and you should have the potatoes gush out into the bowl. Be careful sometimes this can make a mess.
  2. This will take a while, once all of your potatoes are done you should have a pile of riced potatoes. Add your butter, salt, milk, and mash together. This should be a lot easier because all of the hard work has been done for you.
  3. Serve and Enjoy! If you want to make these a day ahead you can, I would just add some milk and butter to give it some more life.
