Red Skin Mashed Potatoes

🧂 Ingredients

• 4 large red potatoes

  about 2lbs
• 2 teaspoons kosher salt

  divided
• 1/2-3/4 cup whole milk

  we use oatly full fat
• 2 tablespoons butter

  we use earth balance or country crock plant butter
• 1/4 teaspoon granualted garlic
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper

Instructions

• 1 Wash and chop the potatoes into small chunks.
• 2 Place the potatoes into a medium to a large saucepan and cover with cold water
  at least an inch above the potatoes. Add 1 teaspoon of kosher salt to the water.
• 3 Bring the water to a boil on high heat and then reduce the heat to medium heat.
  Cook the potatoes until they are fork-tender and easily mash with the fork. This
  usually takes about 10-15 minutes. If you cut them larger you may need to cook
  longer.
• 4 In a smaller saucepan on low heat combine the milk, butter, remaining teaspoon
  of salt, pepper, and garlic until warm.
• 5 Once the potatoes are finished cooking strain the potatoes and discard the
  water. Pour the warm milk mixture over the potatoes in the saucepan and mash the
  potatoes using a potato masher until you reach the desired creaminess and
  consistency.
• 6 Add more milk if needed and taste the potatoes to see if you need to increase
  any of the seasonings.
• 7 Serve with your favorite meal.
