When the potatoes are tender (test with a fork), turn off the heat and stir in the butter. If desired, add a generous grating of nutmeg and parmesan cheese for an aromatic and flavorful touch.
5️⃣ Mash and combine
Mash everything with a potato masher to obtain a soft, lump-free consistency. If you prefer an even smoother mashed potatoes, you can use an immersion blender, but be careful not to overmix or they will become sticky.
6️⃣ Serve immediately and enjoy
Serve the mashed potatoes hot, perhaps with a knob of slowly melting butter on top. The creaminess and aroma will win you over at first bite.
