How to make perfect mashed potatoes
Honestly mashed potatoes is not the most complicated dish to make, but there is still a few tricks to make it even better:
- Mash it while its hot.
- Try to use hot milk instead of cold. It will help to keep your potatoes at the right temperature.
- Use butter, lots of butter
- For the best creaminess use cream instead of milk
- Dont overcook potatoes. At first it sound like not a big deal, but in fact they will end up absorbing too much water and the consistency of the mash will not be the same.
What sausage to choose.
I use Irish garlic sausage that perfectly fit in to this recipe. I would avoid cheap chicken brats. Get pork or beef sausage that available at your grocery store. Anyways, with the gravy everything will taste heavenly!
