Step 4: Serve & Savor

Transfer to a serving bowl.

Top with a pat of butter or a drizzle of olive oil.

💡 Pro Tips for Next-Level Success

Tip

Why It Works

✅ Use Yukon Golds

Naturally creamy and flavorful

✅ Don’t over-mash

Too much agitation releases starch = gummy texture

✅ Warm your dairy before adding

Cold liquid cools potatoes and creates lumps

✅ Make ahead: Assemble unbaked; refrigerate overnight

Reheat gently with extra butter

✅ Freeze it? Not recommended (texture changes)
