To me mashed potatoes are the ultimate side – and I think some recipes get so complicated and have way too many steps!
So just like my obsession with making the perfect meatball (Best Baked Meatballs Ever! recipe) I went on a spiritual mashed potato recipe quest to make mashed potatoes that are super easy with very little steps. This recipe was the result of lots of mashing. So what makes this different from its friends?
First, when asked what would be the best go-to potato for cooking, my answer is almost always the Yukon gold potato! They are packed with buttery fluffy flavor and texture that is hard to mess up. Second, because we are using Yukon gold potatoes there is no peeling required. I know 🙂 … sooo exciting because that takes so much time, but now you have saved that time. Finally the butter is the key. I use brown butter (do not worry this is super easy to make and involves only 1 ingredient – butter). This adds a deep rich nutty flavor that makes every bite a wow experience.
There are helpful potato tips in this video – I sooo can’t wait for you to try this recipe 🙂
