First Time Making Homemade Mashed Potato

Jump to Recipe

First time making homemade mashed potato with a fantastic outcome. With splash of milk and butter, my mashed potato tasted really good and it went well with my other traditional meals. Don't buy a boxed mash potato again.

TRADITIONAN MEAL YOU CAN PAIR WITH MASH POTATOES:

  • Filipino Beef Afritada
  • Crock Pot Sweet Potato and Apple Stew
  • Shrimp Boil Foil Pack
  • Pork Menudo

Like me, this may be the mash potato recipe you have been waiting for. It yields a creamy and chunky mash that everybody will enjoy.

First Time Making Homemade Mashed Potato

If you check in the blog, you will notice that this is the first mash potato I have ever made. Not that I don’t like it, I am just not a big fan of it, so I don’t go out on my way to make it myself. I just wait for my friends to make it. Until I found this recipe. I got it from Southern living magazine and the picture just looks amazing and that made me curious, so I made this. And I tell yah, I am making this again for Thanksgiving and for some of my routine meals.

And Since thanksgiving is fast approaching, I planned of some Thanksgiving recipe for the coming weeks: From Brined Turkey Breast, to thanksgiving dressing, corn bread, pumpkin muffins and this xxx mash potato. So wait on that for the weeks to come.

 

HOW TO MAKE MASH POTATO FROM SCRATCH

  • I usually start preparing my ingredients ahead of time. I wash my potatoes to take away leftover soil and then I peel them.
  • I slice the potatoes in half instead of cube. This way the potatoes will not be as starchy.
  • Put the potato in a large Dutch oven and add water just enough to cover the potatoes. Cook the potatoes until tender.
  • When potatoes are ready, drain excess water thoroughly. This part is really important, so that your mash potatoes will not turn very soupy.
  • Using a masher, mash potato. I like my potatoes chunky, so I make sure there are some chunky bit in it.
  • Add the buttermilk and salt slowly and season according to your liking. Adding the buttermilk might cause a mushy mash potatoes
  •  I say add the buttermilk until you achieve the consistency you desire.

HOW TO MAKE MASH POTATO WITHOUT MASHER?

If you don't have a masher, you can use mixer, but I don't recommend that, as it will make the potato very mashed up, so you can use a fork and I promise it just work as well as the masher.

WHAT TYPE OF POTATO TO USE FOR MASH POTATO

Although you can use any potato you want, but I highly recommend Yukon potato. I found that it doesn't get mushy as it done with red potatoes.
