PERFECT SMASHED POTATOES
We've seen plenty of potato trends over the past few years: Retro hasselback potatoes made a comeback, buttery "melting" potatoes took over Pinterest soon after, and now smashed potatoes are the spuds of the moment. The idea is to simmer small potatoes until tender, then toss them with olive oil, flatten them and crisp them in the oven. It's simple - and insanely delicious. There are more than 35,000 #smashedpotatoes photos on Instagram, and many Food Network stars are obsessed, too. Here's how to make them like a pro.

Steps:
- Peel potatoes and cut into quarters. Transfer to a bowl of cold water and rinse to remove starch. Drain and transfer to a pot of cold water. Very generously salt the water and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are soft and the tip of a knife goes in easily, 20 to 25 minutes.
- While the potatoes are cooking, cut butter in chunks and let come to room temperature.
- Drain potatoes thoroughly and return to the pot. Set over medium-low heat and mash with a potato masher until potatoes. Season with salt and pepper and add ¼ of the softened butter chunks. Mash until butter just about disappears.
- Add another 1/4 of the butter and mix with a wire whisk until it just about disappears. Whisk in the remaining butter in 2 additions as before; potatoes will be light and creamy after all the butter has been mixed in.
- Whisk in hot milk until incorporated. Add cayenne and more salt if needed. Serve immediately.

- Choose the Right Potatoes. Everyone has their own idea of what makes perfect mashed potatoes. Whether you're seeking a creamy or fluffy mash, spuds rich with cream or something as light as air, you can use the tips in this guide to make perfect mashed potatoes no matter which recipe you use.
- Boil the Potatoes Whole. Plenty of recipes and tips will have you peel and cut potatoes into even pieces. A much better option is to buy potatoes that are all about the same size so they will cook evenly.
- Dry the Potatoes. Drain the potatoes, return them to the hot pot, and return the pot to low heat. Cook, uncovered, shaking the pan every few minutes, for 5 to 10 minutes to evaporate as much water from the hot potatoes as you can.
- Peel & Mash the Potatoes. The extent to which it is worth the $15 or so that a ricer costs when it comes to mashed potatoes cannot be stressed enough. A ricer mashes potatoes utterly and completely, without a bump or lump in sight.
- Add Hot Cream, Butter, or Other Flavorings. Heat any cream, milk, butter, or flavorings before you add them to the mashed potatoes. This will keep the potatoes hot and also keep them fluffy.
