Super Easy One-Pot Mashed Potatoes
PREP TIME: 5 mins, YIELDS: 4 servings
By Valentina | The Baking Fairy
Ingredients:
2+ lbs potatoes, cubed
2+ cups of milk, or nondairy milk, or ½ cup - 1 cup heavy cream plus milk, not quite covering the potatoes
½ tablespoon salt
½ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon black pepper
2-3 tablespoon butter or vegan butter to taste
Wash and scrub your potatoes. Peel if desired. Cut into small cubes and add to a large pot.
Add enough milk to almost cover the potatoes, add in the salt, and turn heat onto medium- high. Bring to a boil, then lower to a simmer and cover.
Cook, stirring occasionally, until potatoes start to become very soft and fall apart (about 25-30 minutes).
Remove from heat, and mash and stir vigorously to help the mashed potatoes come together. Add in the seasonings and the butter. You may need to add a bit more milk at this point if it is too thick.
