In class, Breslin points out the differences among potato varieties. Yukon gold potatoes lend a buttery color and flavor, and they are great for mashing.

  • 2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, peeled
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives

These were pretty good. Not amazing, but good. The yukon potatoes do give them a creamy texture. I served alongside chicken cordon bleu and green beans. Step-by-step photos on my blog: http://me-myself-and-pie.blogspot.com/2010/03/chicken-cordon-bleu-chive-mashed.html

These were pretty good. I used 1% milk and they came out fine. I do recommend adding the milk mixture slowly to the potatoes so that they do not come out with too much liquid in them.

AWESOME! Never made fresh mashed potatoes before. But this recipe was so easy and perfect. I didn't want to clean extra dishes so i just added my milk and butter in the same pot with my already mashed potatoes. Don't hesitate to add a little more black pepper.
