It is important to use Yukon Gold potatoes for this recipe. Out of all the potato varieties, the Yukon Gold is one of the best to boil and mash. Also, when mashing the potatoes, use a hand held masher. If there is not a hand held masher, an electric mixer with a whipping attachment will also work. Finally, these mashed potatoes are delicious and make great leftovers. They can be easily reheated in the oven up to two days after making them.* This recipe can be doubled to serve a large crowd.
