These Irish mashed potatoes are pretty easy to make with simple ingredients and taste really good too!
Ingredients
- 3 ½ pounds potatoes, peeled and cubed
- ½ cup butter
- ½ cup half-and-half cream, or more if needed
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder (Optional)
Directions
Step 1
Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain.
Step 2
Mash potatoes with a potato masher or an electric mixer on low in a bowl until smooth.
Step 3
Heat butter and half-and-half in a small saucepan over medium heat until butter is melted and half-and-half is warmed, 3 to 5 minutes.
Step 4
Mash or beat butter mixture, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder into mashed potatoes until potatoes are light and fluffy. Stir additional half-and-half, 1 tablespoon at a time, into potatoes for creamier consistency.
Tips
Add finely sliced green cabbage to the warm milk mixture for colcannon-style mashed potatoes.
