Creamy Mashed Potatoes - Quick & Easy Recipe!

[@Skwishie]

I like black pepper on my mashed potatoes too! It makes it look like they're specks of vanilla like in ice cream.

[@LauraintheKitchen]

I kinda love that!

[@ivelissevega7609]

Laura, thank you for your mashed potato recipe. I used it for Thanksgiving and it came out delicious. It was so easy to make. I've had trouble preparing mashed potatoes before but thank you for your easy and delicious recipe.

[@elsaa1386]

My grandma I remember from my childhood. (I am 1/2 italiana and 1/2 Mexican) so she boils ( my Italian grandma) potatoes whole with skin and later peel them. And she add carnation milk and lots of butter . 😊

[@KSGomez88]

Thank you sooooo much for the tip on not cutting the potatoes too small!

[@LauraintheKitchen]

you're so welcome!

[@robetpeery9084]

I love mashed potatoes and these look heavenly and I am shore very delicious thanks for sharing love you and your video the best

[@christinegarcia4812]

Made these yesterday, they were absolutely wonderful! 🤤 I am guilty of instant mashed potatoes but NO MORE!! These were super easy and my family loved them. I have been given mashed potato duty for Thanksgiving this year. I will be making these for sure. I am just trying to figure out how to make a massive batch for a large family, any suggestions? We are talking for about 25 people. I am a little nervous. 🥴

[@sethterwilliger9434]

It’s amazing how many different was people make mashed potatoes

[@AuLily1]

I like to use the rainbow peppercorns because I like seeing the pepper on white food. I like to see the seasonings in my food in general.

[@firetopman]

Thank you for that hint about the cold milk.

Your mother is right. White pepper is the way to go. Mama is wise.

[@cherylg5002]

Omg these look delicious! Definitely making these and adding some garlic! ❤

[@LauraintheKitchen]

oh yesss!! Steep some garlic low and slow in that milk mixture and it is fantastic

[@cherylg5002]

@@LauraintheKitchen Ah! So steeping it is the trick! I never knew that! Thanks Laura Happy Holidays! ❤️

[@Anthony-x5m6t]

Awesome video! Exactly what I was looking for! Much appreciated !!

[@alivnism]

Hmmm thanks for the pointers 😮 I didn’t know if u add cold liquid in while it’s still hot, it makes it glue texture. No wonder mines always turn out funky and holds a lot of moisture bc I cut them small 🤔 thank you

[@mtorres8202]

Made this for Thanksgiving 2023. Here we are 2024 and every time I'm making mashed potatoes the boys asked is it the same as Thanksgiving? For us this a total Winner. ❤ Thank you!!!

[@Salmomlox]

Thank you Laura for this version. I love the tips and tricks you shared. This reminded me so much of my Mother and how she made our mashed potatoes. I am a guilty person of pouring in cold milk or room temperature milk. Thank you so much for that tip on heating up the milk beforehand. You're the best. Have an awesome day. 🥰🥰😋😋

[@LauraintheKitchen]

you're so welcome!!

[@ronanmorris2250]

So fun!!! Thanks for this.

[@richardpena7153]

I love black pepper on mashed potatoes. I like them smooth, but able to hold their shape.

Your mashed potatoes look glorious. I consider myself a connoisseur of mashed potatoes, and I agree your recipe does I’m just

[@LauraintheKitchen]

thank you!

[@MsSindyLouWho]

Are you kidding me!!?? You HAD me at cream cheese!! I love that you used it! Its kinda my secret ingredient for everything! Lol Not going anywhere! Love your channel!

[@LauraintheKitchen]

haha YESSSS what a difference!!! Potatoes love fat and dairy and so do I lol

[@hohinyu9490]

I need this for a school party

[@mariaziarnik6909]

Just subscribed and you made this look so easy! Will be doing this tonight for my family❤

[@ChangedEver]

When she said cream cheese...that was the moment I fell in love 😊

[@salimakanji-bell8567]

Now I know what I’ve been doing wrong…thank you for the tips❤

[@TuckerDale89]

I like to add dried rosemary when boiling my potatoes along with the salt

[@yeniffergarth9253]

This is very similar to how I like to make my potatoes. I do add some sour cream for some tang and my favorite potatoes are russets too. I will say I normally use black pepper, but for Thanksgiving I use white. It gives is a little earthy note that goes really well. Thanks for the recipe. Will remember to heat up the cream and milk first next time. 😅

[@joshuawhite5116]

laura is the best ❤

[@cjsadman3750]

I've been waiting for this Laura, thank you!

[@LauraintheKitchen]

oh I'm so glad!

[@cjsadman3750]

​@@LauraintheKitchen, I really appreciate your recipes, you are an incredible cook, and some other potato recipes are just too rich, you seem to have a really good balance, thank you Laura!

[@Orlak3lly]

I love garlic in my mashed potatoes! Yum

[@dougtube9870]

I used to be on team russet for mashed potato, but recently I’ve switched to Yukon Gold. I think the flavor is better.

[@tato2493528]

i remember the day i discovered that cream makes all the difference in the world for mashed potatoes. the cream takes it to a whole new level

[@LauraintheKitchen]

absolutely!!

[@TheSwede04]

Fantastic!!😊

[@dAfoodie101]

If anyone has extra boursin on hand, it’s so good in mashed potatoes and you could probably replace all or at least half of the cream cheese with it

[@WholeBibleBelieverWoman]

Would it work to bake the russets before mashing? That way no dilution from the water.

[@ryanfrisby7389]

Fantastic video!😸

[@tbone9603]

You should try carnation evaporated milk instead of whole milk.

[@VathSophanin]

Good recipe

[@Cookathome.Christina]

Looks delicious! ❤❤❤

[@printerudell3604]

The best ❤

[@Timotheousturalyon]

I put milk butter and some Dukes Mayo in my mashed potatoes. Thats how we made them when I was growing up.

[@LauraintheKitchen]

ohhh I've never had them with mayo

[@Maria-ke6wf]

The look delicious 😋

[@adriannahuezo6112]

My favorite 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@angelasiragusa1353]

Hi Laura, love the way you made those mashed potatoes. I am salivating. Lol. Question: Can I make these one day ahead? as I am traveling to my son's on Thanksgiving? Happy Thanksgiving to you and your beautiful family!

[@mikeyd946]

I am in the middle. I like some chunks and some of then smooth and creamy!

[@CP-os1pc]

I have never used russet for mashed, but ill try next time Usually use Yukon gold U mentioned a ricer just when i was writing The best creamiest potatoes i ever made i used a riced and add some garlic i baked

[@LauraintheKitchen]

love that!

[@doloreslopez6226]

Would love to see you do something fun one year and do Turkey Legs

[@LauraintheKitchen]

I actually roasted some the other day bathed in olive oil and white wine low and slow until caramelized and I about fall over over their deliciousness

[@elsaa1386]

Turkey legs are very dry. But will be interesting to see a recipe from Laura.❤

[@abbystanford4489]

Pleaseee do a roasted duck anything

[@breannaregans4074]

I bet you Laura's Thanksgiving dinner is going to be Lit!😊

[@huffles0929]

It IS gonna be LIT...K? 😅 (litk) hehe

[@Starboy-_-]

Couple of Qs: 1) You say cut them large so that they don’t absorb too much water, but later you say they should be falling apart. Isn’t that the same thing? 2) You season the water a lot so that you don’t season the mash, but wouldn’t 1/3 of that salt be enough if you salted the actual mash in the end and wouldn’t it melt in the mixture just fine?

[@mariacasella6474]

I’ve started steaming my potatoes,could just be me but they taste better and I only use russet potatoes,I heat the milk and butter not cold milk,I drain the potatoes but keep the pot on the stove on low sometimes I add chicken broth with the water, I use white pepper,salt ,cream cheese or sour cream

[@lynnettemartinez6952]

What heavy cream do yall recommend??

[@SuperSaltydog77]

I've got quite a few jars of potatoes that I canned still on the pantry shelf, so I have a desire for mashed and I opened a quart of these potatoes. These are "white" potatoes though, a little less starchy than russets, but I thought they would still work. I drained off the canning liquid, into a sauce pot with some milk and got the mlk boiling for about three minutes. Since these were "canned", they have been in a pressure canner at 240° for 45 minutes. they are already cooked through, I just needed to get them hot. Which I did. Ran the pot full through my ricer, added some more milk and butter, and whipped them up with a hand mixer. Even after 3 to 4 minutes of whipping they were still sorta lumpy, small lumps but still lumpy. Did I use the wrong potatoes? Should I only use Russets and not "white" potatoes. I was going for creamy texture with no lumps.

[@stephenwilson9905]

I find that it is very fast if I use a hand held electric beater. It is superfast and very convenient. Do give it a go!🤓🤓🤓🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

[@-RONNIE]

Hopefully you helped people out to make their mashed potatoes different or better

[@Ivyy.a]

I don't have heavy cream what should i use instead heavy cream?😢

[@tato2493528]

i do add some grated cheese to mine and still tastes good....my preference, tho

[@LauraintheKitchen]

how can that be anything but delicious ?!!!!

[@hyperionthelast4239]

May i ask why the cream cheese? New to cooking here

[@Mavi-de2mv]

Oh I miss Laura

[@aprilmurphy7231]

I season the water I boil my potatoes in. Generally chicken bullion and a sprinkle of poultry seasoning. Game changer all the way. It flavors the potatoes beautifully. Drain, add salt, pepper, milk and butter then blend well for cream potatoes or mash.

[@sandyhafenbrack141]

How do you feel about buttermilk instead of the cream?

[@LauraintheKitchen]

I find it to be a little too tangy for my liking

[@lighthouse831]

I love your aprons, where do you get them

[@samanthar-beattie9649]

I'm part potato on the inside too ❤😅

[@ohheychristinax]

This might be a dumb question but how can I turn these into garlic mashed potatoes?

[@LauraintheKitchen]

no such thing as a dumb question and I'm always happy to help! You can do a couple things, one is roasting whole heads of garlic and squeezing the roasted garlic into the mash. The other method is taking a few cloves of garlic, smash and peel and add them to the creme and milk mixture and warming them up together and allowing the garlic flavor to infuse into the milk. It's sensational either way you do it!

[@ohheychristinax]

@@LauraintheKitchenthank you, Laura!! I appreciate you taking the time to reply. Definitely making these for Thanksgiving!

[@Natalie-health-wellness]

I’m love my potatoes too, I can eat potatoes in any way and with anything , yum yum I make mine similar to this but not that heavy either cream and butter hahah I don’t like mine too wet , creamy to dry hahaha, I’ll try cream cheese in it one day yummm

[@crazycooley50]

Laura,I know this is a long shot but I have been watching you over 12 years and started my own Cooking channel on KZbin called Crazy Cooley. I wanted to know if I could interview you. What are your thoughts? Thank you for your time Crazy Cooley😊

[@maryamsarkilabaran5285]

You're so cheerful, so beautiful. Your personality is really beautiful

[@robyn7862]

I steam the potatoes and they come out better than boiling...they don't absorb water like they do when you boil

❤ 🥔

[@jennifera7153]

🙌🏼🤤

[@RobinOm27]

Can you please make a vegan version of this? .. is that even possible? 😄

[@dicknodnfs]

I always loved my Mom's slightly lumpy mash. Even though she hardly knew the business end of a saltshaker. I loved the "I pay the bills" line, because it was one of those, I love you Mom, but I do it my way. I'm sure you could change the dairy a little but it's Thanksgiving. Live a little. Thanks.

[@ritasumigray1612]

Why isn't you latest sourdough stuffing on your website yet?

[@zhannaomelchuk9315]

I have always always always added cold milk & butter to my pot of potatoes, closed the lid and let it melt for a few minutes & then mixed with a mixer and have never once ended up with gluey potatoes🙄

[@MoschPom]

White pepper doesnt taste as good as black. Nor does the mixed one. So black pepper over anything. And it makes the mashed potatoes look more aesthetically pretty when there’s black pepper on top it’s like adding dried parsley. Mashed potatoes and black pepper is like peanut butter and jelly.

[@CarolynnScoffield]

And now… part two; the gravy⁉️

[@fatimavampirenyc8559]

Mom's not here so i make my own rules 😂❤

[@reenakunji9487]

First ❤

[@samhugh4965]

I add chicken bouillon to the water when I cook potatoes.

[@peacefulleagle]

it disturbes me a lot the amount of food is left on the pot use a scraper

[@beaubeauknows3620]

I like to boil my potatoes in chicken bouillon

[@trailerparkcryptoking5213]

Was your mother a narcissist? 😂. Seems like there’s an underlying emotion....

[@sergecaron4834]

Nice but there is a portion left in the pan, I hope it was not waisted. In the time we are living in, one should not waist food, it is arrogant for the ones that are not able to eat.

[@madswansfan1]

As much as your recipe looks nice, I couldn’t eat them. Far too rich for me.

[@ladyfootZ]

Are you going to do the corn pudding too?

[@Stephanie-tj2mf]

I’m known for my mashed potatoes.

[@paulderose8523]

Laura, do you have a recipe for arancini balls without a deep fryer?

[@yolandam611]

Omg I have been cutting my potatoes really small so they will cook faster but now I will not do that from hete on out

[@valerianwinterdrake7187]

My mom does the black pepper too! it is the best mashed potatoes i have ever eaten

[@jessicana5257]

Now this is American Thanksgiving approved!

[@amazinggracegreaterglory.8992]

I will certainly try this mashed potato recipe. It's very easy with very little amount of ingredients. Thank you Laura.
