what can you add to mashed potatoes
Directions. 1  Place the potatoes in a large pot and add enough cold water to cover. 2  Add the butter, sour cream, Â¾ cup of the milk, 1 teaspoon salt, and Â½ teaspoon pepper to the potatoes and mash until smooth (adding more milk if necessary).
Alternatively, you can dilute evaporated milk with waterâone part milk to one part waterâand use the milk in place of the water required. Perhaps the easiest way to thicken instant potatoes and create the flavor and consistency of ârealâ mashed potatoes is to actually add more potatoes. If you have a can of diced potatoes in the back of your cupboard, drain them and toss them into the mix.
1 Place the potatoes in a large pot and add enough cold water to cover. 2  Bring to a boil and add 2 teaspoons salt. 3  Reduce heat and simmer until very tender, 20 to 25 minutes. 4  Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot.
