What's In The Post

Equipment Required

Saucepan – I recommend using a saucepan to boil the potatoes
Fork – I use a fork to mash the potatoes. However, you can also use a potato ricer or masher for better results. I don’t suggest using a food processor or blender, as they can over-mash the potatoes.
Knife – I suggest using a sharp knife to cut the potatoes into chunks. It’ll help you cut the potatoes evenly.
Colander – Colander helps me to drain the potatoes properly. It removes the excess moisture from the potatoes.
Rubber Spatula – I prefer using a large rubber spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure even mixing.

Gordon Ramsay Mashed Potatoes Ingredients & Substitutions

1 Kg Yukon Gold Potatoes – If you have trouble finding Yukon Gold potatoes, you can also use Russet potatoes.
100 ml Whole Milk – I don’t like whole milk, so sometimes, I substitute it with soy milk. It’s healthy and best for people following a vegan-friendly diet. You can also use cashew and almond milk.
100 ml Double Cream
Salt – I recommend adding as per taste preferences
½ Teaspoon Black Pepper
75 Grams Butter – Butter is always an unhealthy option for me, so I replace it with olive oil, which is a healthier option.

FAQs About Gordon Ramsay Mashed Potatoes

How can you tell if your potatoes are cooked through?

While boiling the potatoes, I suggest you check them by inserting a fork into one piece to see whether they are cooked properly. If the fork easily slides through the potato, that means they are perfectly cooked. If they meet any resistance, boil for a few minutes more.

What is the easiest way to mash potatoes?

I have found that the easiest way is to mash the potatoes with a potato masher until the moisture is drained correctly. Don’t use a blender or food processor, as they can become sticky and gluey.

How to make mashed potatoes hotter?

To make these Gordon Ramsay Mashed Potatoes hotter, incorporate some spicy ingredients. My favorite options are hot sauce, spicy cheese, horseradish, or chipotle peppers in adobo sauce. Using any ingredients will bring out a spicy kick in your mashed potatoes.

How can you refresh their flavor and texture after reheating?

Increase the quantity of ingredients. For instance, you can incorporate more milk, cream, and butter to refresh the flavors and textures.

Why are your mashed potatoes too lumpy?

Mashed potatoes may become lumpy because you have not cooked or mashed them properly. Another reason could be over-mixing. Therefore, you must be careful while boiling and mashing the potatoes and ensure you don’t over-mix these mashed potatoes.

Why are your mashed potatoes too runny?

Mashed potatoes may be runny because of excess moisture, which may come from adding too much liquid, such as whole milk or double cream. So, make sure that you avoid adding liquid ingredients in excess.

Why are your mashed potatoes too thick?

A lack of liquid can make your mashed potatoes thick, so add enough liquid ingredients to give them the desired consistency.

Storing And Reheating This Recipe

Storing

Refrigerator – You can store these mashed potatoes in the refrigerator for four to five days. But before storing, cool them down to room temperature. Also, while storing, transfer this dish to an airtight container or cover it with plastic wrap. This will prevent the dish from absorbing any odors from other dishes kept in the fridge. It also prevents skin formation.
Freezer – Freezing is the best method for storing these mashed potatoes for a longer time. Allow them to cool at room temperature and then transfer them to a freezer-safe bag. Whenever you feel like eating them, make sure to thaw them overnight and then serve.

Reheating

Stovetop – Place a batch in a saucepan or pot and let them reheat for about 10-15 minutes at medium-low heat. Also, storing may affect the texture of these mashed potatoes, so I add a splash of milk and a pat of butter to retain texture.
Oven – When ready to reheat these mashed potatoes, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. However, it’s necessary to add milk and butter as it’ll help restore the textures of these mashed potatoes.
Microwave – Add the required quantity to the microwave-safe dish, covering them properly with a wet paper towel. However, for best results, remember to add milk and butter.
