Quick Baking Hack: The "Fluffy" Potato Secret

• • For the creamiest mashed potatoes, skip the hand masher and use your Ottimo hand mixer on a low speed. Adding a splash of warm milk and a blob of butter while mixing aerates the potatoes, giving them a professional, light, and fluffy texture that is a hit at any family dinner.
