We love homemade mashed potatoes, and we decided to try this classic recipe: https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/219077/chef-johns-perfect-mashed-potatoes/. Chef John’s video is filled with useful tips. We accidentally did not cut the Russet potatoes only lengthwise, but the dish still turned out well.
To make this recipe a little healthier: for 3 large Russet potatoes, we reduced the salt in the water to 1 tsp, reduced the unsalted butter to 3 Tbsp (from 4 Tbsp), used 1/3 cup 1% milk (instead of 1/2 cup whole milk, and seasoned with 1/2 tsp each kosher salt and white pepper. The result was fluffy and delicious. (Aug. 2022)
