Start with the right potatoes. Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes are ideal for their creamy texture and rich flavor, ensuring the perfect mash.
Boil the potatoes until tender. Cook them in salted water to enhance their flavor. Ensure they are soft enough to be easily mashed without becoming waterlogged.
Incorporate fresh herbs. Add chopped parsley, chives, and dill to give your mashed potatoes a vibrant, summery taste.
Use light dairy options. Substitute heavy cream with Greek yogurt or low-fat milk to keep the dish light while still creamy and delicious.
Infuse with garlic. Sauté minced garlic in olive oil and mix it into the potatoes for a subtle, aromatic flavor boost.
Add a zesty twist with lemon. A squeeze of lemon juice and some zest brighten up the dish, making it refreshing and perfect for summer.
