Notes
*The calories listed are an approximation based on the ingredients in the recipe card and a serving size of 1 cup of mashed potatoes. Actual calories will vary.
*For more information, tips, and answers to frequently asked questions, please refer to the post.
*We leave the skin on our potatoes. If you’re worried about texture, consider peeling the potatoes. The skin disconnects from the potatoes as they’re being mashed and it can be difficult if not impossible to remove them once they’re cooked.
*Any variety of potato works. We use Yukon Gold or Russets, but red potatoes also make a great option.
