How to Make Easy Creamy Mashed Potatoes on a Stove Top
Aunt Lou here.
I absolutely love mashed potatoes. They go great with a delicious roast or a yummy chicken dish or a good ol’ pork chop. When Momma would make up mashed potatoes when I was a kid, I could not wait to get a huge helping on my plate!
We have a plethora of mashed potato recipes on our site for your crock pot or instant pot. Whether you want it with ranch or bacon or with an extra creamy taste, we have you covered. So it is only logical that we provide you with a stove top recipe. This recipe is great for new cooks and for those cooks that know their way around a kitchen!
This particular recipe has an amazing flavor and is so creamy. We had plenty of food around the house, and I did not want anything to go to waste, so I made a small batch. However, if you have a larger family or need an amazing side dish to take to a potluck (when we get to have those again!), you can always double or triple the recipe.
I know people are divided on how to mash potatoes and what kind of potatoes to use. So, mash them and your ingredients however you like. You can also use whichever type of potato you like best. Red, Russet, Gold…you pick! You will just need to adjust your cooking time to accommodate soft potatoes versus hard potatoes. Make sense? When your potatoes are fork tender, you are ready to move on to the next step!
