Fluffy Mashed Potatoes for Beginners

Following are some tips for the novice cook on how to make delicious mashed potatoes.

Several common problems are choosing the wrong type of potato, undercooking, which will produce hard lumps, and over-mixing, which leads to a starchy, gummy product.

Equipment:

potato peeler or small utility knife
potato masher or rice masher (best)
mixing bowl
mixing spoon
large pot
fork
colander

Calculate 3 persons per pound of potatoes; however, since your mashed potatoes are going to be so wonderful, people will want seconds.

If you microwave these potatoes to warm them up, they may get too soft. Best to heat on the stovetop or in the oven.
