Herbed Mashed Potatoes

Although the warmth of the potatoes melts the butter during mashing, experienced cooks prefer to heat the milk, butter and herbs together. Gradually pouring in the mixture while mashing helps keep the mixture piping hot for serving.

  • 1 Place potatoes in large saucepan; add enough water to cover. Add 1/2 teaspoon of the salt. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover loosely and boil gently for 15 to 20 minutes or until potatoes break apart easily when pierced with fork. Drain well.
  • 2 Return potatoes to saucepan; shake saucepan gently over low heat for 1 to 2 minutes to evaporate any excess moisture.
