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.
