Buttery Mashed Potatoes Tips

What can I use instead of butter in mashed potatoes?

Instead of butter, you can use olive or infused oils. These fats work well as a butter replacement in most mashed potato recipes. We recommend trying out garlic or truffle oil. Sour cream or cream cheese can add creaminess, too. If you're dairy-free, try swapping out the butter for a dairy-free butter substitute. Be sure to check out our other dairy-free recipes, too.

Can you mash potatoes in a blender?

Technically, yes, you can mash potatoes in a blender. Do we recommend it? Probably not, as it makes the texture quite gloopy. Opt for a hand mixer, stand mixer or ricer before you reach for the blender. Learn more about the different ways to mash potatoes.

What else can I add to mashed potatoes?

There are plenty of toppings that you can add to mashed potatoes! Some of our favorites include crumbled bacon, green onions and cheddar cheese. Here are a few other ways to take mashed potatoes to another level.
