While I'm using classic Russet potatoes in these Bone Broth Mashed Potatoes, this simple upgrade works with any potato variety you like. Start by boiling your potatoes until tender (just like traditional mashed potatoes), then mash them with bone broth (instead of traditional milk or cream), a touch of butter, and salt and pepper.

The result? Creamy, velvety mashed potatoes with a subtle savory kick that pairs perfectly with roast meats, grilled vegetables, and hearty stews. Plus, you get the added protein of bone broth in every bite! I use this simple technique of swapping bone broth in my Easy Bone Broth Rice too!

Ingredients

• Russet Potatoes: I use organic Russet potatoes for classic mashed potatoes. You could also use sweet potatoes if you prefer.

Recipe FAQ's

Do I need a mixer for this recipe?

No, you can definitely do this without a mixer. I just like to use my mixer for ease. If you want to make mashed pantoates by hand, you’ll just need a potato masher and you can do it in the pot by adding the butter and bone broth there.

Do I need to peel the potatoes for Bone Broth Mashed Potatoes?

No! I usually don’t peel potatoes when I make mashed potatoes, but I wanted to peel them here as I was going for a more classic recipe. But, you can leave skins on if you choose, just make sure to wash potatoes really well.

Can I make Bone Broth Mashed Potatoes ahead of time?

Yes, of course! Just store mashed potatoes in an airtight container in the fridge if you want to make a day ahead. Also, save the chives for right before serving. Serve with chopped chives on top.
