KEY INGREDIENTS IN WHIPPED POTATOES
Potatoes - What kind of potatoes should you use? In this recipe, we found Russet and Yukon delivered the creamy results we were looking for. But any potato can work. Sweet potatoes would be delicious as well.
Whole Milk - Whole milk will give you the best texture overall because of the high fat content. But you are welcome to substitute whole milk for any type of milk that suits your needs.
Unsalted Butter - This recipe uses unsalted butter (and a LOT of it). Your potatoes may end up too salty if you use salted butter, so unsalted is a must.
Salt - Add the recommended amount of salt in the recipe to the dish, but always add more to your own personal taste.
HOW TO MAKE WHIPPED POTATOES
Add the potatoes to a large stock pot and cover with cold water. Allow them to soak for 10 minutes.
Drain the starchy water and add cold water until the potatoes are covered.
Bring water to a boil and boil for 18-22 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and are easily separated with a fork.
Drain the water and transfer the hot potatoes to a large bowl for a stand mixer.
Fit the stand mixer with the whisk a ttachment. Turn the mixer on low and add in the milk ¼ cup at a time, mixing until all the milk has been added.
Increase the speed to medium, and add the butter 2 tablespoons at a time until all butter has been added and the potatoes are fluffy.
While the mixer is still mixing, add in the salt and mix until combine.
Turn off the mixer and transfers the whipped potatoes to a serving bowl. Serve warm.
