Ingredients
- 2 pounds of russet potatoes, peeled and quartered
- 1/2 cup of milk
- 1/4 cup of butter
- 1 packet (1 oz) of Hidden Valley® Original Ranch® Seasoning Mix
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: chopped chives or parsley for garnish
Instructions
- In a large pot, add the peeled and quartered potatoes and cover them with cold water. Add a pinch of salt to the water.
- Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and let the potatoes simmer until they are tender, about 15-20 minutes. You can check tenderness by poking them with a fork; they should easily break apart.
- Once the potatoes are cooked, drain the water and return the potatoes to the pot.
- Add the butter, milk, and Hidden Valley® Original Ranch® Seasoning Mix to the potatoes.
- Using a potato masher or a hand mixer, mash the potatoes until they reach your desired level of creaminess. If you prefer them a bit looser, feel free to add more milk until you achieve your desired consistency.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving dish, and if desired, garnish with chopped chives or parsley for a pop of color.
- Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Original Ranch® Mashed Potatoes!
