Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 3 medium potatoes (about 1–1/4 lbs.), peeled and cut into chunks
Dairy and Seasoning
- 1/4 cup Country Crock® Original Spread
- 1/4 cup 2% milk
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- Pinch ground black pepper
Instructions
- Boil Potatoes: Cover the peeled and chunked potatoes with water in a 2-quart saucepan. Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer uncovered until the potatoes are very tender, about 15 minutes. Drain the potatoes well.
- Mash Potatoes: Return the drained potatoes to the saucepan. Using a masher, mash the potatoes until smooth or to your desired consistency.
- Add Ingredients: Stir in the Country Crock Original Spread, 2% milk, salt, and a pinch of ground black pepper. Mix thoroughly until the potatoes are creamy and evenly seasoned.
Notes
- For extra flavor, consider adding roasted garlic or fresh herbs like chives or parsley.
- Use warm milk and spread for creamier mashed potatoes.
- Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper to taste.
- To make it vegan, substitute Country Crock Original Spread with a plant-based spread and use a non-dairy milk.
