How to Make Mashed Red Potatoes
Red potatoes have a waxy texture, and they stay firmer than other potatoes when cooked, giving these simple mashed potatoes a chunky texture. Leave the skin on for a pop of color and more fiber.
Complete your plate: For a classic "meat-and-potatoes" meal, pair with Southwest-Style Turkey Meatloaf and a simple Green Salad with Orange and Avocado.

Step-By-Step Instructions:
-
Pour 1/4 cup of water into a medium pot fitted with a steamer basket and bring to a boil over high heat. Add the red potatoes, cover, and reduce the heat to medium. Cook until the potatoes are tender, 25–30 minutes. Set aside to cool.
-
In a small saucepan, heat the milk and butter over medium heat until the butter melts, 2 minutes. Remove the saucepan from the heat and set aside to slightly cool.
-
Add the potatoes to a large bowl and, using a potato masher, mash until almost smooth. Add the milk mixture, salt, and black pepper and mix until well combined.
