Mashed Gold Potatoes
Mashed Gold Potatoes are super quick and easy, and our secret ingredient packs them with flavor.
Yukon Gold potatoes are perfect for mashing, especially for people like me who like mashed potatoes a little lumpy. Their smooth texture is perfect for that blend of texture and creaminess. The trick to adding even more flavor is using a little bit of vegetable stock when mashing them. The vegetable stock makes them super flavorful and delicious.
Techniques for perfect Mashed Gold Potatoes
- Use low-sodium vegetable stock. This helps to make sure you add the right amount of salt.
- Add the salt at the end. This will give you more control over the salt level.
