Gluten Free Yukon Gold Mashed Potatoes

Creamy, buttery mashed potatoes are one of those comfort foods that should be simple — and with this recipe, they genuinely are. Yukon Golds are the star here, bringing a naturally rich, slightly sweet flavor and a silky texture that holds up beautifully to the warm butter and milk folded in at the end. The trick of drying the drained potatoes over low heat before mashing is a small step that makes a big difference, pulling out excess moisture so every bite is fluffy rather than watery or dense. Because the ingredient list is built entirely from whole, unprocessed foods — potatoes, butter, milk, salt, pepper — there's no need to scrutinize labels or worry about hidden additives that can sneak into packaged versions. White pepper adds a subtle warmth that feels a little more refined than the usual black, and a handful of fresh chives on top gives the finished bowl a pop of color and mild onion brightness. This makes four generous servings, so it's just as at home on a weeknight dinner table as it is anchoring a holiday spread. Simple, satisfying, and completely unfussy.
