I want my mashed potatoes really airy and not concrete. Do I need an electric mixer?

On Thanksgiving, I make loaded mashed potatoes. Peeled then boiled. Mashed with butter, milk, salt, pepper, garlic power, chives, sour cream, bacon, shredded cheddar. People FREAK out over them.

Yellow potatoes
Skin off
Cut up, boiled in salted water (I do inch-ish sized pieces boiled for 25m)
Drain

Meanwhile, steep cream (I use 50/50) with garlic cloves, thyme/rosemary whatever flav you want and butter. I usually start this before I even start peeling the potatoes. Just put it in low and let it do its thing.

Put the boiled/slightly cooked taters through a ricer into the still warm potato pot. Pour a bunch of the flavoured butter cream mix over the taters. Mix hard, potentially over low heat if the pot is too cool. I use a rubber spatula. Make sure to adjust for salt; depending on how salty you make the boil water you will need less/more.

That’s about it. I think the flavoured cream and the ricer make all the difference, and it doesn’t take *that* much longer than just using a masher.

Ffs I should have read this before posting. Yukons are yellows, so that’s my preference, and 15 mins not 25, Jfc that would be mush.

^yukons are yellow potatoes. I just often buy other yellows, but Yukons are the most popular. Should have clarified.

I recently used a whole tub of crème fraiche instead of sour cream because I was all out and I regret to have discovered it was much better.

My BIL would boycott if I left skins on, as would my kids. Yukon gold no skin, lots of butter, milk and salt. I use the kitchenaid mixer with the paddle to make it creamy.

This is the way.

Mostly Yukon, with one russet potato mixed in. You get the richness of the Yukon potatoes, but a bit lighter and fluffier.

Butter, cream, and whole milk. Lots of each.

Salt and ground white pepper.

I love them with garlic and bacon (and also some fresh thyme leaves) but for a classic mashed potato side dish, leave them out.

Yukon golds, do not peel. Cut into chunks and steam in pressure cooker. Whip with soy milk, nutritional yeast, vegetable broth.
For a different flavor, whip with horseradish and rosemary.
