👨🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prep the Potatoes
Peel the potatoes and cut them into quarters. This helps them cook evenly and faster.
2. Boil Until Tender
Place potatoes in salted water and bring to a boil. Cook for about 10–15 minutes until fork-tender.
3. Drain & Heat Base
Drain the potatoes and return them to the same pot. Add butter and let it melt over low heat.
4. Add Milk & Seasoning
Pour in warm milk along with garlic powder and onion powder. Warm ingredients help maintain a smooth texture.
5. Whip the Potatoes
Use a hand mixer (or whisk attachment) and whip on low speed until smooth and fluffy.
⚠️ Avoid overmixing, as it can make the potatoes gluey.
6. Serve Warm
Taste and adjust salt if needed. Serve immediately with extra butter or herbs.
