Recipe Mashed Potatoes Half And Half

Put the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water.

Recipe mashed potatoes half and half. Salted if you have it. The high starch content makes them excellent for mashing. When you re making traditional mashed potatoes russet potatoes are the best to use in my opinion.

Reduce heat to low. Place potatoes half and half and 2 teaspoons salt in a large saucepan. Beat until light and fluffy.

Reserve 1 4 cup cooking water. Larger potatoes may take longer up to 45 or 50 minutes total. About 20 minutes into the potato cooking time melt the butter over low heat in a small saucepan.

You can also use heavy cream or whole. Drain potatoes and place in mixer with butter sauce. Meanwhile heat the butter and half and half in a small saucepan over low heat.

Cover and cook for 15 20 minutes or until tender. Add dressing mix and process until smooth. Drizzle in melted butter and half and half mixture add the salt pepper and mash to your desired consistency.

Half and half or milk my mom usually uses milk but if you would like these potatoes to be a bit creamier go with half and half cream which contains 12 fat. Mash with margarine and 3 4 teaspoon salt. Heat the half and half and remaining 1 tablespoon salt over low heat in another small saucepan.
