Instructions
1
Peel the potatoes, if desired, and cut them into 2-inch pieces. Place the potatoes in a large saucepan or Dutch oven, cover them with water, and bring to a boil over high heat. Boil the potatoes for 15 to 20 minutes or until they can be easily pierced with a fork. Once done, drain them well in a colander.
2
Return the drained potatoes to the saucepan and toss them briefly over low heat. This will help dry off any excess moisture, ensuring your mashed potatoes are fluffy. Use a potato masher or a hand-held electric mixer to mash the warm potatoes until they reach a chunky consistency.
3
Gradually add the warmed broth while continuing to mash until the potatoes achieve your desired creaminess. Incorporate the chopped parsley if using, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Once mixed, cover the pan and keep the potatoes warm over very low heat for up to 30 minutes before serving.
4
Serve your mashed potatoes with your favorite toppings like gravy, sour cream, butter, or chives to enhance the flavor even further.
