Notes
I prefer to thicken with cornstarch as it does not affect the flavor of the mashed potatoes.
How to Avoid Runny Mashed Potatoes
- Using the right kind of potatoes. Yukon Gold Potatoes is the preferred potatoes but you can also use russet potatoes.
- Don't over cook the potatoes. Once you can pierce the potatoes with a fork they are done.
