Frequently Asked Questions

Do you peel potatoes before boiling for mashed potatoes?

This comes down to personal preference. Potato skins have great potato flavor. Not only do they add flavor, but some really like the texture of potato skins in mashed potatoes. If, however, you are looking for a super-light and fluffy mash with no color contrast, then you may want to consider peeling the potatoes.
