If you are wondering how to thicken mashed potatoes, let me share an easy trick!

I will also share one of my favorite mashed potato recipes- Cajun mashed potatoes.

Potatoes

Butter

Cajun Seasoning

Milk

Salt and Pepper

Ingredients

Step 1

I like to leave the skins on, so I cut off the ends and some of the eyes.

Step 2

Boil in salted water over medium heat.

Step 3

Once they are tender, drain and add to your bowl.

Step 4

Add in your other ingredients and mix on high speed.

Step 5

Once the potatoes are creamy, they are ready to go!

Step 6

If you happen to add too much milk and the potatoes are thin, there is an easy solution.

Put your potatoes back into a pan. Cook on low/medium heat, stirring constantly until some of the liquid has evaporated and the potatoes have thickened. Make sure to stir constantly, so the potatoes don't burn!!
