Course:

This recipe was given to me by my mother-in-law Cathy. She is the master at whipped potatoes. She always tells the story about feeding my husband 5lbs. of whipped potatoes after he had his wisdom teeth out. Cathy whips her potatoes to fluffy perfection and they are undeniably good. I hope you try this recipe. If you are concerned about the raw egg, feel free to skip it altogether.

Peel the potatoes and cut them into cubes. Fill a large pot with water, add the potatoes. Bring them to a boil about 20-30 minutes until fork tender.

Drain the potatoes. Mash with a potato masher to just break up the chunks. Then, add the mixture to the stand mixer with paddle attachment.

Mix on medium speed and add the premixed egg, milk, and softened butter.

Whip the potatoes on high until smooth and fluffy. Add salt as needed to taste.

Enjoy with a dollop of butter and some fresh chives.
