Directions
Peel and cutting the potatoes into chunks, then toss them in a big pot with a splash of lemon juice and enough water to cover everything. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat and let the potatoes cook until they’re nice and tender, which usually takes about 15 minutes. Once they’re soft, drain the water and get ready to mash. Use a potato masher to break them up, then mix in the egg white and butter until everything’s combined. Slowly add the half-and-half, mashing as you go, until the potatoes reach the creaminess you like. Finally, season with salt and pepper to taste, and give it one last stir before serving.
Serving Inspiration
Serve these mashed potatoes alongside roasted meats or grilled vegetables. They also pair wonderfully with gravy or a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or chives for added flavor.
How To Preserve This Dish
Store leftover mashed potatoes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of milk to restore creaminess.
