We liked Test #3 the most because it got the best of both worlds. Test #3 – 25% Yukon Gold and 75% Russet Mashed Potatoes: Deeper potato flavors than using 100% Russet potatoes (Test #1), fluffier and lighter than using 100% Yukon Gold potatoes (Test #2).Ĭonclusion: It’s a matter of personal preference and what potatoes you have on hand. It’s more silky smooth than Test #1 and Test #3, but not as light & fluffy as Test #1 and Test #3. These mashed potatoes are more creamy like a smooth potato puree. Test #2 – Yukon Gold Mashed Potatoes: Less starchy more sticky, deeper/more intense earthy potato flavors than Test #1. Test #1 – Russet Mashed Potatoes: Fluffy, light, creamy smooth texture less earthy potato flavors but fluffier texture compared to Test #2.
