Ingredients
3lbsRusset Potatoes{about 7 medium}
½cupMilk
2TablespoonsButter
1teaspoonSalt
⅛teaspoonPepper
Instructions
Peel potatoes and cut into 1" - 1.5" chunks.
Place potatoes in pot, and add water to cover plus about 1 inch above the potatoes.
Gently boil for about 25-30 minutes or until you can easily push a fork through the potatoes.
You will need a mixer with a flat and whisk beater for this recipe.
After your potatoes have cooked, drain potatoes and place in your stand mixer bowl with the flat paddle attachment. Turn mixer on LOW and mix for 1 minute, or until the potatoes are relatively smooth.
Add the remaining ingredients.
Turn to speed 4 or medium/medium low for 30 seconds to allow the milk to absorb.
Turn the mixer up to speed 6 or medium/medium high for 1 minute. {Seriously, time these things, it makes a difference in how they turn out.}
Switch to your whisk beater attachment and scrape the sides of the bowl down. {This is also a great time to taste the potatoes and adjust for any additional salt or pepper needed.}
Turn you mixer to speed 10 or high and whisk the potatoes for 3 minutes.
It is important to time as you go, the times really make a difference in the potatoes coming out light and fluffy. You are done! Easy and sooo delicious!
