You'll get light, fluffy potatoes with no lumps in these Perfect Mashed Potatoes! Great for holidays or dinner year round!
For someone who has blogged for almost four years, you would think that I would have posted a recipe for mashed potatoes along time ago ... I guess I just always assumed it's one of those things people know how to make! I started getting a few questions on Facebook about how to make mashed potatoes that are light and fluffy and it got me to thinking, maybe I should do a recipe for mashed potatoes! Don't worry, I've gotcha covered in another post for the Perfect Gravy, too!
I have to tell you, one of my favorite comfort foods is mashed potatoes with plenty of gravy! Don't be stingy with the gravy, either! To be honest, it is one of my favorite things when it comes to holiday meals! I could skip everything else, but don't even think about leaving out my potatoes!
