Servings 6 servings
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes washed and dried
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 5 garlic cloves roasted
- 3 tablespoon butter
- fresh thyme optional garnish
Instructions
- First, wash and pat dry the potatoes. Peel them if desired for creamier potatoes. Slice the potatoes into 1 inch cubes.
- Place the cubed potatoes in a large saucepan. Cover fully with water.
- Bring to a boil. Boil for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork tender. If needed, add slightly more water. Meanwhile, roast the garlic in tin foil in the oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 25 minutes.
- Next, drain the potatoes in a strainer. Transfer the potato chunks back to the hot saucepan. Add in the sea salt, pepper, roasted garlic, and butter. Use a potato masher or fork to mash.
- For extra smooth potatoes, add the mixture to a blender or a food processor.
- Finally, serve these mashed potatoes without milk! Top with fresh thyme if desired.
Notes
- We highly recommend using Russet potatoes or Yukon gold potatoes. They are the best for making mashed potatoes.
- For the creamiest potatoes, peel them. Feel free to leave some skin on for added texture.
- Add in a dollop of sour cream to make the potatoes extra creamy.
- Boil until the potatoes are very tender when pierced with a fork.
- You may need to add more water to your saucepan as the potatoes cook.
- Use a potato masher to mash the potatoes.
- For very smooth potatoes, blend them after mashing.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days.
