There’s a reason Grandma’s mashed potatoes are legendary—they’re not just a side dish; they’re a warm hug on a plate. No lumps. No dryness. Just silky, cloud-like potatoes whipped with real butter, warm milk, and a pinch of salt—the kind that disappear under gravy or stand proudly on their own.
This recipe captures the timeless technique passed down through generations: simple ingredients, careful timing, and a little patience. No sour cream, no garlic, no fuss—just pure, comforting perfection.
