Astuces du Chef

Use starchy potatoes like Russets or Yukon Gold for the best texture.
Always heat the milk before adding it to the potatoes for a smoother consistency.

En cas de problème

If potatoes are lumpy, use a ricer to smooth them out.
If too dry, add more milk a little bit at a time until desired consistency.

Variantes de la Recette

Add roasted garlic for a flavorful twist.
Stir in shredded cheese or herbs for variety.

Alternatives Santé

Replace butter with olive oil for a lighter version.
Use almond milk instead of whole milk for a dairy-free option.
