How can I make a silky smooth, rich mash?
My mash potatoes are usually not very tasty.
I sometimes add some cheese or butter (together with milk) but I never manage to make a good one! Probably the quantities are wrong.
Could you give me some help ? Thanks
Best Answer
I usually season my mashed potatoes with salt, pepper and lots of muscat nut.
Apart from that, boil the potatoes in really salty water. The difference between adding the salt to the water rather than adding it later on is really astounding.

Using a potato ricer will make the mash smoother.
Use more butter, and use heavy/double cream instead of milk, add salt and pepper.
