Mashed Potato Recipe

MASHED POTATOES

Ingredients

• 2 pounds baking potatoes, peeled and quartered

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

• 1 teaspoon ranch seasoning

• 4 tablespoons butter

• 1 teaspoon salt

• 1/4 teaspoon pepper

• Parsley for garnish (optional)

Method

Fill a large pot with water, season it generously with salt, and bring it to a boil.

While the water heats, peel the potatoes and cut them into evenly sized pieces. Add them to the boiling water and cook for about 15 to 20 minutes, until a fork slides easily into the center.

Drain the potatoes well, then return them to the warm pot or transfer them to a large mixing bowl.

Add the butter, cream, garlic powder, ranch seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mash until the potatoes reach your preferred consistency.

Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. Avoid overmixing, especially when using an electric mixer, or the potatoes can turn gummy.

Sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.
