To prevent lumpy mashed potatoes, make sure to thoroughly mash the potatoes with a hand mixer or potato masher. You can also add the milk and butter gradually, mixing as you go, to ensure a smooth consistency. Additionally, using warm milk and melted butter can also help prevent lumps.
Yes, you can use different types of potatoes for mashed potatoes. Russet potatoes are the most commonly used, but Yukon Gold or red potatoes can also work well. Just keep in mind that different types of potatoes may result in slightly different textures and flavors.
To make dairy-free mashed potatoes, substitute the butter with a dairy-free alternative, such as vegan butter or olive oil. You can also use a non-dairy milk, such as almond or coconut milk, in place of regular milk. Remember to adjust the amount of liquid and seasonings to your taste as needed.
