The Perfect Mashed Potatoes

Want to know the secret ingredient to whipping up the dairy free mashed potatoes of your dreams? I have it in this post for you. This recipe will give you the PERFECT mashed potatoes every time. They’re creamy and so delicious.

We love entertaining friends and family and serving these homemade mashed potatoes. This has been our go-to recipe for years. And it’s definitely a family favorite.

No one ever guess they are gluten, dairy, and soy free.

This is a classic recipe perfect for your next holiday, a special family meal, and everything in between.

We enjoy this perfect mashed potato recipe every chance we get… served alongside meatloaf, pulled pork sandwiches, shish kabobs, crock-pot roast, and as a side dish for every holiday.

But before revealing the secret ingredient I must make a confession. As much as I’d like to take credit for the secret ingredient, I can’t.

There, I said it…the secret ingredient to the perfect mashed potatoes did not originate with me.

Nope. Nada. Nilche. Not me.

Interestingly enough it was the hubs with this brilliant recipe hack.

He insisted years ago our mashed potatoes have an egg. And despite my initial hesitancy, he was spot on. Adding an egg really brings this side dish to the perfect, creamy consistency and taste it needed all along.

And since this is… kind of the hub’s recipe, I will add in his 2 mashed potato rules…

  • number one… do not let the potatoes get too soft when boiling. Check them often.
  • and his second rule for the perfect mashed potatoes… do not over mix the potatoes with the mixer.
