Notes
- The water is salted heavily to add flavor to the potatoes.
- Cut the potatoes in 2 inch cubes to help them cook faster.
- If you prefer not to have the potato skin, you can peel the potatoes before boiling;
- Drain the potatoes thoroughly. If there is water left in them, they will be watery. The less water the fluffier your potatoes will be.
- Being careful not to mash the potatoes too much helps to keep them fluffy and creamy.
- Use room temperature butter, cream and sour cream so the potatoes don't get cold when you mash them.
- Mashed potatoes are best served immediately.
