    HOW TO MAKE  MASHED POTATOES WITHOUT USING ANY TOOL?

    If you don't have any of the tools mentioned above you can still use a fork.

    CAN I MAKE  MASHED POTATOES WITH A HAND BLENDER?

    My advice is to avoid using a hand blender (immersion blender)since it will release too much starch from the potatoes and result in heavy and gummy mashed potatoes. When you use a hand mixer, you can whip in much more liquid and fat without releasing too much starch from the potatoes. It also results in a very smooth and creamy texture.

    HOW TO MAKE DIRY FREE  MASHED POTATOES?

    To make a dairy free creamy mashed potatoes swap the normal milk with almond milk, coconut milk, and vegetable stock.Personally, I prefer using unsweetened almond milk. Swap the butter with plant based butter, better if it is unsalted butter.

    WHAT MILK SUBSTITUTE IS BEST ?

    The best substitute for milk in mashed potatoes is heavy cream. Add a quarter of the required milk volume as heavy cream. Melted butter, stock, and sour cream are all excellent substitutes too.

    4. Greek Yogurt.

    6. Almond Milk.
    7. Soy Milk.
    8. Coconut Milk.

    WHICH POTATOES ARE BEST FOR THE BEST CREAMY MASHED POTATOES RESULT ?

    Yukon Golds Make the Best Mashed Potatoes! Since they are  high starch and low water content, they're great for baking, for making French fries, and for mashing. In addition, they're naturally creamy when mashed, never mealy, and have a slightly buttery flavor all on their own.

    ARE GOLD AND YUKON GOLD POTATOES THE SAME?

    Yukon Gold originally was one variety. It evolved over the years and so there are similar varieties out there now. Idaho grows very few of the Yukon Gold's anymore, preferring a Yukon Gem.

    SHOULD I PEEL THE SKIN OF THE POTATOES OR LEAVE IT?

    You can certainly leave the potatoes unpeeled when using Yukon Gold. This will shave about 5 minutes off your prep time. The unpeeled version will have quite a bit of extra texture… so if you're going for super creamy then you'll want to peel the potatoes.
