Mom’s Mashed Potatoes
I’m excited to share this recipe with you because it’s my mom’s classic recipe for mashed potatoes and of course I’m biased when I say, they truly are the best mashed potatoes in the world. She’s been making these all my life, so you know you can trust this recipe! Mashed potatoes really are my favorite side dish, no ifs and/or buts about it. But this is the way my mom has been making these potatoes for years and it’s a no fail recipe.
What Makes My Mom’s Mashed Potatoes Special
What makes my mom’s recipe different? Well I’m sure it’s not much different than many of the mashed potatoes recipes out there, but it is a bit different than how I make mine, not so much in the ingredients, but the way we mash them. Mom usually goes all out when she makes our Sunday suppers and her mashed potatoes are always light and fluffy and totally whipped. She always uses a mixer to whip them up. I’m a bit lazier than her and I just use a potato masher. Granted, my mashed potatoes aren’t as fluffy, but still good.
