Mashed potatoes are a great side dish option that goes well with fish, meat or vegetable salads.

But you have to try hard to prepare a tasty and tender side dish without lumps.

First of all, you should mash the potatoes only when they are hot and the moisture has evaporated.

Then you need to add butter to the hot side dish, and then dairy products. The mass should be thoroughly mashed with a masher.

It is better not to use a blender. At first glance, it seems that this device helps to cook the dish faster and simplifies the process.

But it is also important to understand that an immersion blender can turn puree into a sticky mass that can form lumps.

It is acceptable to use a mixer, but at low speed. In this case, gradually add milk to the puree.

In this case, the texture of the side dish will be ideal.
