Mashed Potatoes

This recipe for mashed potatoes is the perfect side dish for any meal. They are creamy, flavorful, and easy to make. The secret to the perfect mashed potatoes is to use Yukon Gold potatoes. Yukon Gold potatoes are naturally buttery and have a creamy texture that makes them ideal for mashed potatoes. This recipe also calls for milk, butter, and salt to make the mashed potatoes even more flavorful. The potatoes are boiled until they are soft, then they are mashed with a potato masher. Once they are mashed, the milk, butter, and salt are added and they are mashed again until they are smooth. For the best flavor, be sure to use fresh milk and butter. These mashed potatoes can be made ahead of time and reheated when you are ready to serve them. They are also great for leftovers. Simply reheat them in the microwave or on the stovetop and enjoy.
