Ingredients

  • 4 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, washed and rinsed
  • 1 gallon whole milk
  • 4 ounces unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt

Directions

Peel the potatoes and slice as thinly as possible on a mandoline directly into a large, 8-quart container filled with 4 quarts of cold water. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

Drain the potatoes and rinse with clean, cold water; spin dry in a salad spinner. Transfer the potatoes to an 11-quart pot, cover with the milk and set over medium heat. Bring to a simmer, about 35 minutes. Reduce the heat in order to maintain a simmer and cook, uncovered, until the potatoes are fork tender and beginning to fall apart, 25 to 30 minutes.

Reserve 1 cup of the cooking milk. Drain the potatoes thoroughly in a colander and return them to the pot. Press the potatoes through a ricer into a large mixing bowl. Add the reserved hot milk, butter and salt and use an electric hand mixer to whip on low speed for 15 to 30 seconds. Do not overwhip.

    Excellent! Make sure to stir so it doesn't stick!

    This recipe is my GOLD standard for whipped potatoes, excuse the pun! Best texture & flavor ever! I followed the recipe to the "T" and the potatoes came out perfectly. I do not own a ricer, so I used the old flat-bottomed masher I've always used & that worked out just fine to eliminate any lumps prior to whipping. While whipping, I slowly poured the milk until I got the texture I was wanted. I did not use all the milk & can understand why some reviewers mentioned using less salt than called for. Nonetheless, these are perfection! To those who have burned pots: It is the POT, not the recipe. Please use a thick-bottomed pot, keeping an eye on the simmering pot throughout the cooking time, stirring on occasion from the bottom up. Please try this again if your first attempt wasn't a success-this recipe is a winner! (PS To avoid gummy results, you must rinse the potatoes thoroughly both after they've been in the fridge & after they've cooked in order to rinse away the starch.

    Made these for Thanksgiving and I couldn't serve them. The potatoes did take a long time on the stove but my issue was they wouldn't go through my recently purchased potatoe ricer (that I bought just for this recipe. I did other potatoes with the ricer the day before, but they were quartered potatoes. The thinly sliced potatoes just sat on the bottom of my ricer and wouldn't go through. I tried mashing them regularly and not sure what happened but they just turned into glue. Thank goodness I had also made my staple do ahead mashed with cream cheese and sour cream or we wouldn't have had potatoes on the T-giving table. My ricer is a hand held (looks like a big garlic press. Have others been able to use that kind of ricer with thinly sliced potatoes?
