A potato-press isn't necessary, you can do it prison style with a fork, too ;) Important to note is that you shouldn't use a blender for mashed potatoes ever. They usually have far more power than necessary and break out the starch, making the potaoe-mash more of a cream-sauce. But that's really the only thing you can do wrong. It's like when you whip cream too hard it becomes butter, not whipped cream. Use manual presses only.
Peter Griffin i usually salt my salt with my tears of disappointment. Then i inhale the entire bowl of mashed potatoes. This is called the cycle of school.
Just made this for thanksgiving and everyone loved it! I made the mistake of adding the two sticks of butter into the saucepan but I was adding it to the mashed potatoes little by little after mixing and it still came out great! Just a tip for those who might feel they didnt follow thoroughly :)
Men are not objects. This is distasteful, and would be viewed as such if you were referring to a female. Males can be overly sexualized and are victims of SA just as women. These are the toxic comments that make it so much harder for male victims to come forward.
Depending on my mood, I get stuck with or have the privilege of making mashed potatoes every year for Thanksgiving. Using that ricer and skipping peeling looks like the best thing ever. Definitely giving that a try in a couple of days. I will use more butter though.
This looks wonderful, exactly what I was looking for. Such an easy way to add the flavors in. I'm definitely making it this year, thank you so much! By the way, love the presenter. He did a great job.
1. The reason to heat milk and use room temp butter is because cold dairy closes the bud of the potato and doesn't combine as well. For super-unctuous potatoes, add a brick of cream cheese for every three pounds of potatoes. Make sure it's room temperature. 2. If you're not a muscle dude like this guy, cutting potatoes in half (after boiling) and putting them in the ricer cut side down makes it much easier. 3. Put the boiled garlic head in the ricer and use that garlic! 4. If you make the potatoes a day head, try something new: pipe or scoop little mounds onto a baking tray, sprinkle with Parmesan/Reggiano, and broil until golden brown.
This is how I found these BA Test Kitchen videos... mother-in-law assigned me with Mashed Potatoes for 20 people (she MUST hate me, I thought!)... got the ricer and all was well. Keep the videos coming. They're the best thing on youtube!
Another reason why you don't wanna add the potatos to boiling water is that the water is gonna splash and end up in your eyes (even when you're wearing your literal glasses, funny how that whole Murphy's law thing works). TRUST ME I LEARNT THIS THE HARD WAY
Love you Andy! Thank you for the recipe, i'll be doing that this Thanksgiving, was a bit distracted with Mercurystache had to replay the video several times because I kept loosing focus.
I would've used more Cream than Milk, and definitely added some minced parsley to the end product. Add some minced chive on top. The excess butter is a little extreme, but I guess it's Thanksgiving.. let's hope the extra calories are sleeping J/K. I use a ricer for my mashed potatoes as well. it truly brings out the best end-result. No lumps, smooth, and ultra creamy taste.
These look delicious, but I would also suggest boiling the potatoes in low sodium homemade chicken broth instead, or a homemade beef broth. Also at the end you whisk in freshly prepared garlic butter, which is 3 cloves of crushed garlic to 2-3 TBS of butter on low low low heat for like 10 min.
as posted previously, my mashed potato game hit next level when using a ricer, it really makes all the difference..... add cream not milk, and a L O T of butter.... seasoned heavily with white pepper and salted accordingly. when you get it right, you'll know.
I make my mashed potatoes with an electric mixer I also used a stick of butter, sour cream about half a cup to a cup depends on how you like your potatoes and an egg. Salt and pepper to taste.
Hi there. Just commented the same on the Making Perfect video. I think your recipe pleases both hte ones that like their mashed potatoes really creamy and the ones that like them fluffy. I think Molly and Carla should have used your recipe, way better texture wise. Theirs - albeit probably extremely tasty - is way too runny!
If not making for a crowd, much easier to microwave a russet about 7mins depending on the size (flipping Midway) then ricing right into preheated butter and milk/cream/herbs etc in pot. No waterlogged potatoes, no water whatsoever. Done in 10m.
no music on this one.... i felt so fukkin peaceful the entire time. this is zen. my crops are flourishing.
Upload a video will you mate
Internet Shaquille crops wtf ?
once I'm done with these FOUR freelance projects, I'm back on the wagon. Gotta chase the money yadadamean?
Internet Shaquille money is for chumps, cooking videos on TH-cam are more important. That's what I heard anyway.
Relax its just a cooking video
You have to crush the garlic to release the Allison, that's what's really good for you in garlic, I believe.
Alan Sun naw more finely chopped garlic just releases more flavours but ain't nobody got time for that
Alan Sun someone’s been watching their brad & vin
this made me legit LOL
Brad, is that you?
That I believe part got me. I know what you’re watching😆
Don't let Brad see you not smashing that garlic to release the allicin.
"I believe." -Brad
After watching Brad's videos I got really confused and started adding glue to all my food :/
alison
2 part epoxy life
WE NEED MORE BRAD
so the trick is to use a potato ricer, and then add the paula deen coronary trinity of Salt, Butter and Cream, got it
The only thing missing was a sprinkle of racism for garnish

“coronary trinity” 😂💀
The only thing missing was egg yolks, beef fat, and lard. And also a blended up Big Mac with KFC chicken skins.
you forgot mayo-naaaze
Freddie mercury's lost son lol interesting recipe nonetheless lol
Freddie Mercury was Parsi; descendents of 16th century Persian refugees in India, and this guy is Persian as well.
Cannot be unseen.
For sure lol yep lol that's funny lol
You forgot to salt the salt.
Peter Griffin i usually salt my salt with my tears of disappointment. Then i inhale the entire bowl of mashed potatoes. This is called the cycle of school.
The salt looked bland indeed
"You want to add a good amount of salt"
*Proceeds to add a fuckload of salt*
Do Americans realise they use more salt than anybody else?
Potatoes can take a ton of salt. Plus not all that salt put in the water is going to be absorbed by the potato.
Deep Red Potatoes don’t really go by normal salt standards
Potatoes need salt. Most people don't use enough salt when cooking, then wonder why their food is bland
Americans don't use that much salt. Andy just loves salt. There's even a video of him where he talks about how much he loves salt.
This will kill any relatives you hate during thanksgiving for sure
Even the ones you love. xD
w-why😳
emii emilyy too much salt, too much fat haha
lolll
He’s easy on the eyes and has a great way of speaking. He seems very comfortable in front of the camera. More of him!
Sammi Conley aww so cute that now we get more of him! And everyone.
"You kinda want the water to... taste like the ocean. I'll just put it all in there." 😂 They love their salt in this kitchen I've noticed. 🤭

Carla and Molly:
Are we joke to you?
Their potato soup was. 😁
C'mon
How can I pay attention to the recipe with such a pretty guy like that??
Ricardo hjkjhkjh i like ur avi;)

He’s beautiful
WTF??? 😅😅😅
It's about mashed potatoes...
Wheatbeerlover
I’m just saying I’d let him mash my potatoes
Oh yeah!
Blue Guy .....
Beautifully Gay
I was all on board until you brought in the ricer...at that point I was like “well that’s not something we have in my kitchen”
MissMash ! I know the feeling
It’ll taste the same no matter how you mash them, just use a fork or a potato masher...
F that ricer! I make the creamiest mashed potatoes with a hand blender!
Sarah Jabir why have I not thought of this, lol Thank you!
that makes it super sticky, dont do that. He's not overworking those potatoes for a reason...
I like that he has an upward inflection at the end of every senTENCE
spacedoutboy87 i cannot help but listen for it now. nearly ever sentence he speaks he does that haha.
This is perfect for Thanksgiving! Thanks for the recipe :)
Infinite Athletics I see you everywhere.
This looks wonderful, exactly what I was looking for. Such an easy way to add the flavors in. I'm definitely making it this year, thank you so much! By the way, love the presenter. He did a great job.
This is my favourite Andy and mash potato video ever! Never hold back when it comes to mash!
I am in love with Andy.

Super creamy, perfect 😍
The hateful comments on this video are wild. Its potatoes, guys.
I don’t see any hate comments
I love Brad too but Andy is also great!

How the mashed potatoes went?
@@ronbenitez641 They were the bomb! None left!
I used this recipe last year and my whole family loved it, so much so that they asked me to be in charge of the mashed potatoes again. Great dish
Best. Mashed. Potatoes. Ever.
Yum. Heart disease never looked so good...
(But seriously, totally worth it)
he's always in the background of other videos. bring this cutie back!
Everyone’s talking about how he’s beautiful and I didn’t even notice. I was too busy paying attention to those beautiful mashed potatoes
Andy is truly talented & my favorite on the channel. Would love to see more videos featuring him.
Yo Andy can can mash my potatoes anytimeeee aaayyyyeeee
This is the recipe I use every year !! Sooo yummy !!!
Made it! Soo good! My family said this is our new favorite recipe!
god his facial hair is perfect, so full and no patches. But also great video and cooking tutorial!
I'm only subscribing for this guy. He's lovely
Please give this good looking man his OWN SHOW AND TH-cam CHANNEL! Anyone that uses two sticks of butter is a winner!
"Andy makes the sexiest cooking show ever"
the kitchen sounds in this video is super relaxing
I see the comments are full of michelin star chefs. Who would of thought
Must be where the buggers reside, while taking a break from making their culinary masterpieces.
Another reason why you don't wanna add the potatos to boiling water is that the water is gonna splash and end up in your eyes (even when you're wearing your literal glasses, funny how that whole Murphy's law thing works). TRUST ME I LEARNT THIS THE HARD WAY
he's making me more hungry than the recipe
Love you Andy! Thank you for the recipe, i'll be doing that this Thanksgiving, was a bit distracted with Mercurystache had to replay the video several times because I kept loosing focus.
Yukon do it! ... I know... Bad pun...
A really, really B(r)ad pun
The way he describes everything makes my mouth water lol I was so relaxed yet so hungry
I didn't know Freddie Mercury could cook
LOVE this part: 3:09. I totally agree! This looks delicious. Thumbs up! Beth
OMG ANDY IS FINALLY HERE EVERYONE!!!!!! WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN WE MISSED YOU 😭😭😭
this just cured my anxiety why is it so calming
Comes back to watch after the Carla and Molly episode 🙈🤷🏾♀️

Sheldon Miller this is very valid I have just devised a recipe around this method a few days ago
Right on!

when you get it right, you'll know.
He’s so cute 😍
I love these late night low light videos. It's very relaxing.
Who would have thought the secret to extra creamy mash was to add extra cream... Fascinating.
Jon Rapson The real secret is to use all cream. 😉
lol
I make my mashed potatoes with an electric mixer I also used a stick of butter, sour cream about half a cup to a cup depends on how you like your potatoes and an egg. Salt and pepper to taste.

I think Molly and Carla should have used your recipe, way better texture wise. Theirs - albeit probably extremely tasty - is way too runny!
the garlic and rosemary trick though. GENIUS!
GURL YOU IS PRETTY
I would recommend passing the final mixture through a sieve it makes it smoother but you need a little bit more milk to do that.
gosh people, it is a once a year side dish.
You need more mash in your life.
Finally I’ve mastered creamy mash...... thank you
that's more salt than I own
Andy is the Freddie Mercury of mashed potatoes!
yeah I need that potato ricer
I m miss the BA TH-cam shows
I'm here in the future admiring that mustache omg like 2017 what a time to be alive
These came out excellent thanks Andy.
are you speaking rfom the dead with this much butter?
can you add more salt?
the salt in the water is no big deal, you are only going to consume a tiny fraction of that.
Sarcasm at it's finest 😂
herrdoktorprofessor , do you speak sarcasm?
If not making for a crowd, much easier to microwave a russet about 7mins depending on the size (flipping Midway) then ricing right into preheated butter and milk/cream/herbs etc in pot. No waterlogged potatoes, no water whatsoever. Done in 10m.
Freddy Mercury makes the best mash
the swoosh on the mashed potato in the dish at the end impregnated me and I am now 4 months expecting
Brad looks weird in this video.
Lmao
*fabulous
He's just morphing into Freddie Mercury. It happens sometimes.
It’s that time of year again
Who's watching this but knows that they're never gonna actually do this?
Here here...waaaay too unhealthy
I can never watch an Andy video without blushing. 🤭☺️
I like it whenever Andy cooks.
gosh he can have my touch of cream🙃
I feel dirty
hey, you're hot ;)
Ewh
When did Freddie Mercury start working at Bon Appétit? LOL!
Freddie Mercury Makes Ultra-Creamy Mashed Potatoes
I never knew to start potatoes in cold water. Thanks for tip and look forward to trying - thanks!
He's so damn cute
These were delicious !! Perfectly creamy and silky smooth
I think you forgot to add salt?
Thanks Andy! You're the best!
Is it just me or he looks like Freddie Mercury?
Have you started paying your chefs a fair wage yet?
Damn that's decadent...
Doing a thanksgiving practice run tomorrow, that’s right practice run! Definitely going to try this recipe!!
Miguel Hernandez please update how it turns out! I was stuck with making mash potatoes...
I love the kids try videos. Please make more!!!!!
Replicated this recipe and got a tasty soup. Thank you!
Something here reminds me of Freddy Mercury
Love the way you cook! Thanks for the recipe!
Why not melt the butter in the cream?
Molly would be proud of that salting.
Salt looks like saaaaaaaaalt!
That aside, thanks for the easy recipe.
