Made this for a dinner party to serve alongside CL's Coq au Vin. Really quick, easy, and solid recipe for mashed potatoes that everyone enjoyed. Also easy to scale up to serve a larger group. This will be my go-to mashed potato recipe in the future! :)
Creamy Herbed Mashed Potatoes
Yukon golds make brilliant mashed potatoes, thanks to their balance of waxiness and starch. Because yellow potatoes are more flavorful than others, they don't need a lot of fat to taste rich. Mash them by hand just until creamy--overworking the potatoes will make them gummy.
