How to make the 'easiest’ creamy mashed potatoes: Gordon Ramsay's recipe takes 15 minutes![]() Mashed potatoes are the ultimate comfort dish to pair with your dinner, but getting the creamy texture and flavours right can be tricky unless you have the right recipe. Gordon Ramsay has shared how to make the creamiest mashed potatoes and said there are three ways to easily make mash depending on your preference. In his cookbook ‘Quick and Delicious’ Gordon said: “Mashed potatoes are a great accompaniment for so many dishes, but these three decadent options are almost worthy of top billing. “Pair them with a rib-eye steak some good quality sausages or a robust fillet of white fish and you have simple, fast food without any fuss.” According to Gordon, the secret to nailing the texture on mashed potatoes is using a potato ricer, which costs between £10 to £20 but will take this side dish to the next level. He said: “Investing in a potato ricer will make mushing the potatoes much easier and quicker, and the results and so much smoother than with a conventional masher. Once you’ve tried one, you’ll never look back.” While using a potato ricer if preferred, you can do without for this recipe. How to make Gordon Ramsay’s mashed potatoes
