Equipment

  • air fryer

Ingredients

  • 3-4 lbs Russet potatoes
  • ¾ cup whole milk, heavy cream, or half and half
  • 1 stick butter
  • kosher salt to taste

Instructions

  • Wash any dirt off your potatoes. Then dry them.
  • Poke holes into the potatoes. Then add to your air fryer basket. Fit as many as you can without stacking them.
  • Cook at 400 degrees for 45 minutes or until a fork pokes through them or they read over 200 degrees when you insert a thermometer.
  • For fluffier mashed potatoes, run the potatoes through a ricer or food mill, or push them through a sieve into a bowl underneath.
  • Add in salt to taste and at least half of the milk and all the butter. Whip them with a hand mixer for no more than a minute until smooth. If they seem too dry as you are mixing, then add in the rest of the dairy.
  • Serve warm.
