    omg .. stop! lol .. but really, the variety of potato makes SUCH a huge difference too, a russet or yukon gold .. mmmm .. I like sour cream in my mashed pots too, but that's the Latvian in me .. Bless

    Once I ate all the leftover skins from the boiled potatoes, lightly frying them & woke up in the morning to notice my eyelids were lush & juicy like a baby’s. Much needed nutrients in the skins!

    Chef John is being too conservative with the butter. Hahaha just kidding, but it's also worth noting that as compared to his 3:1 potato-butter ratio, the late Joël Robuchon's original pommes purées had 1 pound of butter for every 2 pounds of potatoes used.

    My food wish, Campbell's would bring back "Beef & Beans" from the 70's. Hard Times but poured over bread, a slice of Velvetta cheese over, broil till blacking & melting, we lived off it. Don't burn your tongue?

    While this recipe is a nice variation to try, I prefer his "Perfect Mashed Potatoes" recipe because it has a stronger potato flavor vs the butter dominant flavor here. Fewer calories is just a pleasant bonus. Just my two cents.

    I made these potatoes yesterday, and they were awesome!!!! I followed instructions to the letter. I used good salted European butter, two blocks of it…PLUGRA brand. I know Alton Brown and Geoffrey Zakarian have said they prefer Kerrygold brand, but we taste tested both, and PLUGRA won hands down…and no, it's not too much butter.

    The best part of this method for me being 71 y.o., dammit to hell, is I did NOT need a big potato ricer, which is another darn thing to clean up and hard for me to crank now that I'm older. No lumps. Not gummy at all. Just wonderful. Cleanup is a breeze.
    We had wonderful Chicken Kiev that I had made up and froze last week. Not really a turkey fan. The potatoes were a great side that was worthy of a well made Kiev. No comparison to a frozen store bought one, even though they are passable when in a hurry, but not for an elegant Thanksgiving dinner.
    Loved seeing Chef John the other day, live talking to us all out here.

    Making these luxurious potatoes today for Thanksgiving. My husband freaked out when he saw 2lbs of butter on the counter (double recipe). Thanks so much for always leveling up my cooking game!

    I've made this twice now. It's sooooo easy and it can't miss. Add this side dish to any main dish that you're experimenting with if you want to be assured that everyone will have good memories of the meal no matter how your experiment comes out.
