There’s nothing better than a heaping mountain of warm mashed potatoes to complement a meal on a crisp night.

Here’s how you can whip up guilt-free, homemade mashed potatoes with just a handful of simple ingredients.

What type of potatoes should I use?

We love a little more texture when we make mashed potatoes, so we typically use red potatoes. If you love a smoother, more creamy consistency, use russets.

Do I need to peel my potatoes?

Nope! Peeling your potatoes isn’t necessary. Ultimately, it’s entirely up to you or your families personal preferences. We love tiny little pieces of the potato skin in our mashed potatoes, so we don’t peel them. Plus, peeling potatoes is a tad time consuming and since we’re busy mommas, we simplify whenever possible.

Should I use an electric mixer to blend my mashed potatoes or mash them with a potato masher?

If you prefer your mashed potatoes to have a much creamier consistency, use an electric mixer. For a thicker, slightly lumpier consistency, use a potato masher.
