Linda's Fluffy Mashed Potatoes

Linda's Busy Kitchen's Note:

These potatoes are delicious, rich, creamy and fluffy. Try them, and see for yourself. NOTE: If you use smaller potatoes, use less milk. Start with 1/2 c. and go from there.

• Total Time: 45 mins
• Prep Time: 25 mins
• Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• 8 large potatoes , peeled, and quartered
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• freshly cracked pepper , to taste
• ½ cup butter
• ¾-1 cup milk
• ½ cup sour cream (optional)
• 2 eggs

Directions:

1. In a large pan, boil potatoes with salt until tender, 15-20 minutes.
2. Drain water, and add remaining ingredients.
3. Mash until smooth, with a potato masher.
4. Do not whip continually with a beater, or they will get gooey, and starchy as the gluten breaks down.
5. Note: You can turn this recipe into garlic mashed potatoes, by adding 3 cloves roasted garlic when you mash.
6. You can turn this recipe into garlic onion mashed potatoes, by adding sauteed onions, and roasted garlic to your taste, while mashing.
7. For another tasty dish, try adding shredded Cheddar cheese, and cooked broccoli pieces.

EGGS?! As I cracked the eggs into the potatoes my kids said that I had ruined the postatoes...10 minutes after that my husband and I were enjoying these with sounds of delight. The kids then wanted to try just a small taste- The potatoes were all gone within two minutes. These were the best mashed potatoes we ever had. Do NOT over mash, I just used two forks and they were beautiful and not sticky.

BEST...POTATOES...EVER!! We tried them out over the weekend to see if they would work for Thanksgiving and I was blown away! They are by far the fluffiest, most melt in your mouth mashed potatoes that I have ever eaten! My son doesn't like anything but instant and he never questioned them and actually got seconds! This is the only recipe that I'll be using from now on. Thanks you so much for posting!

Wow. The second my husband swallowed a bite he stopped dead and asked "what did you put in these?!?" He loved them, and so did I! An incredibly easy way to add so much creaminess and flavor. I will never make mashed potatoes without eggs again. Thank you!
