Directions 4 steps | 40 Minutes

Step 1

Notes:

  1. Other varieties of potatoes will work for this recipe but Yukon gold potatoes are preferred.
  2. If using kosher salt, sure to use Morton’s kosher salt. Different kosher salt brands have varied crystal sizes and may affect the salinity of the recipe.
  3. A potato masher or, better yet, a ricer, helps get the spuds smooth without overworking them in a food processor, which can make them gummy. If you are low on equipment, a couple of forks will do also the job!
