Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 3 lbs Yukon Gold or yellow potatoes
- 1 cup whole milk
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon salt, plus more to taste
- 1/2 - 1 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Scrub the Yukon or yellow potatoes well and chop each one into 4 even pieces. Add the potatoes to a pot with 1 tablespoon of salt and fill with water, covering the potatoes by one inch.
- Bring the potatoes to a boil and continue boiling for about 15 minutes or until a fork pierces them easily.
- Drain the potatoes well and return them to the pot (off heat) or a large mixing bowl to finish.
- Add unsalted butter, whole milk, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to the potatoes.
- Before turning the beaters on, stab the potatoes to break them down into smaller chunks. Then, turn them on gradually, raising the speed until they whip the potatoes without splattering outside the bowl. Spin the bowl slowly with your other hand to help the process along.
- If needed, add more milk, a few splashes at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
- Taste for salt about halfway through so the potatoes are well seasoned before you're done whipping them.
- Be careful not to over-process them, or they may become a strange, sticky texture.
