The Only Way to Make Real Mashed Potatoes🥔🔥
**Scroll down for the technique, and keep an eye out for an incredible osso buco dropping this Friday**
When it comes to mashed potatoes, there are countless wrong ways and loads of bad advice out there. And while it’s true that there are a couple of ways to get it right, this method is bulletproof.
🔸 Boil whole potatoes (skin on) in unsalted water.
🔸 Infuse warm milk & cream with thyme, bay leaves, and peppercorns.
🔸 Once potatoes are tender, steam them dry, pass them twice, and mix in the infused dairy.
🔸 Now for the key—cold unsalted butter, at least half the potato weight. Fold it in until smooth.
🔸 Finally, season with salt for the perfect balance.
There are plenty of ways to make mashed potatoes, but this one? This is the only way that matters.
Watch out for an incredible osso buco dropping Friday, served on this perfect mash.

I've never seen a more beautiful potato puree
Halvt så meget smør som kartofler 🤯 det lyder lækkert men så må jeg sgu da ikke spise noget resten af ugen. 😂
ONLY WAY!!! 🙌
Bro that might aswell be custard. Good idea. But far too much milk cream and butter. The potato aspect was almost gone
I like putting yolks instead of butter (sill add a bit of butter )
Recipe Please ❤️Yummy 😍
It looks like pudding, I think I'll stick with my mom's mashed potatoes 😊 just like she taught me.
Word.
Every year I see some other way to do mash potatoes. I thought you should put the butter in first to seal in the starch!
🤤🤤🤤
My mom did the same thing when she boiled the potatoes (she didn’t peel or chop)
Ooh the French make a dish called Aligot. Eaten once in Paris and OMG it’s the best cheesy mash
I could eat that all day long 😋
It looks delicious to me! 😍
