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 don’t make great mashed potatoes. Just can’t get them right…. So I use instant! This year I decided I CAN DO THIS! I used your recipe and they were good! MY potatoes were GOOD! WooOooOo…. 🎉 🥔 🎉🥔🎉🥔😋😋😋
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.
Too rich, my tummy hearts now😢
Turned out perfect! Thanks, Chef!

Nothing beats the butter
A secret I learned is also Mayo… lol I was forbidden from telling those at the dinner table.
Just tried this, loved it. Thank you so much :)))
How long to boil? Not stated in video or blog post 😑
Not enough butter, maybe next time use buttermilk!
made this last night!
Taters need to be much stiffer like my Grandma's. Looks delicious
Mmmmmmmmm butter! 😋
لااله الاالله محمد رسول الله
Wonderful!
I like Chef John so much. However , his speech patterns; the cresting and falling are so difficult to listen to . The🎶
Unsalted butter sounds perfect for US with great hearts 💕
I put a ton of butter in everything and even I was like woah that’s a lotta butter lol
The only thing that doesn't work for me is the cayenne.
These are so good. My daughter always asks for these during the holidays even though my wife is disgusted (by the idea).
You Will maske us fat😂😅
Many thanks. Really delicious.
I missed what you said about what compensates for girth?

Must be French, they can't make anything without tons of butter
Just passing thur💯happy Thanksgiving sir iam going to make these for Thanksgiving tomorrow 11/ 25/21🙏
This looks fantastic, but I might get a heart attack if I eat that more than once a year. Only addiction I would have made is some dill.
Can i use regular butter? Dont have the special butter used in this video..lol
Potato ricer 👍
What type of potatoes did you use?
This is potato paste, not mashed potatoes. They should be fluffy, not almost a liquid. Gross
I didnt know theres too much better on those, mashed butter with potatoes.
Dude… why so stingy on the butter? Live a little please
I love your videos! Your voice and chipper attitude makes cooking fun. Great job!
Can I still put a big pat of butter on top of my serving ? 😋😘
This is just the way I do mine except I use a mixer on mine.

Your videos are great!
No offence intended but Wisconsin small dairy better 👍
