You call that a recipe for mashed potatoes for two? It’s more like a sad, bland excuse for a side dish. Let me show you how to make truly delicious mashed potatoes for two.

Ingredients:

• 2 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1/4 cup whole milk
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Chopped chives or parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Place the peeled and cubed potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a generous pinch of salt to the water.
2. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat and then reduce the heat to maintain a gentle boil. Cook the potatoes for about 15–20 minutes, until they are fork-tender.
3. Drain the potatoes in a colander and return them to the pot. Place the pot back on the stove over low heat to evaporate any remaining moisture from the potatoes.
4. Add the butter and milk to the pot with the potatoes. Use a potato masher or fork to mash the potatoes until they reach your desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving bowl and garnish with chopped chives or parsley, if desired.
