Serious Eats: Recipes
Perfect Mashed Potatoes
JerzeeTomato showed Thanksgiving spirit when she invited novice cooks to use Serious Eats as a resource (and when she observed that "Turkey Day is my Olympics!").
We want our Thanksgiving roundup to provide recipes for all skill levels, tastes and dietary needs. And so we bring you a basic: a calculated, written recipe for something many of us learn by doing and observing, without ever reading words on a page.
We bring you Perfect Mashed Potatoes, from Seriously Simple Holidays by Diane Rossen Worthington.
These may not be your perfect mashed potatoes, but they are perfectly tasty. You may be a purist who makes mashed potatoes without garlic, or who refines their mash by peeling the potatoes, or who believes in the importance of using a starchy potato for a fluffy end product. We welcome all mashed potato feedback and variations!
