Gluten-Free Mashed Potatoes Recipe

Ingredients

• 2.5 lbs. russet potatoes
• water (for boiling)
• ½ teaspoon salt (to season the boiling water)
• ½ cup whole milk (for dairy-free/vegan, use unsweetened almond milk or your favorite plant milk. )
• 4 tablespoons butter (for dairy-free/vegan, use Smart Balance or your favorite dairy-free or vegan butter. )
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon pepper

Steps

1. 1

   Peel the potatoes and cut them into smaller pieces, around 1-inch cubes.

2. 2

   Rinse well with cold water to remove excess starch.

3. 3

   Place the potatoes in a pot and add fresh cold water to cover them up. Add salt in the water.

4. 4

   Bring the water to a boil, and boil until tender. This can take 6-20 minutes, depending on the type of potatoes and the size of the pieces. The pieces should be soft but not too mushy.

5. 5

   Drain the potatoes in a colander and rinse quickly with warm water, to once again remove excess starch.

6. 6

   Heat the milk and the butter in the pot used for boiling the potatoes. Once the butter has melted, add the potatoes back in the pot and turn off the stove.

7. 7

   For extra smooth and fluffy potatoes, use a hand mixer to whip the potatoes. Season your with salt and pepper to taste and serve!
