Tres Leches Mashed Potatoes

A creamy and delicious mashed potato recipe infused with three kinds of milk for extra richness.

Ingredients

  • russet potatoes (5 pounds)
  • kosher salt (2 tablespoons)
  • evaporated milk (0.5 cup)
  • milk (0.5 cup)
  • buttermilk (0.25 cup)
  • unsalted butter (0.5 cup)
  • white pepper (0.5 teaspoon)
  • cayenne pepper (1 pinch)
  • chives (1 tablespoon)

Instructions

  1. Peel and quarter potatoes, and transfer to a 6-quart pot. Add enough water to cover by 2 inches, and add 2 tablespoons kosher salt.
  2. Bring to a boil on high heat, stir once, and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer gently, until potatoes are completely tender, but not falling apart, 30 to 40 minutes.
  3. When potatoes are almost done, add evaporated milk, milk, and buttermilk to a saucepan, and place over low heat. Drain potatoes very well and add to a large bowl, or back into the pot.
  4. Use a masher to mash potatoes smooth. Add butter; mash again until butter disappears. Add 1 teaspoon salt, white pepper, cayenne, and hot milk mixture.
  5. Use a whisk or electric hand mixer on high speed to whip potatoes until light and fluffy. Taste for seasoning, garnish with melted butter and chives, and serve immediately.
