I love these mashed potatoes. They are way easier than making them on the stove. This recipe eliminates the time watching the Pot to see if it’s boiling and checking the potatoes to see if they are tender enough. It also eliminates the work of mashing them.

If you don’t like the skins, feel free to peel them. I like the texture they create when you don’t peel them. Plus, the skins are a good source of fiber.

If you have a hand held mixer or a stand mixer, you will never go back to mashing potatoes by hand again.
