How to make Spicy Mashed Potatoes

Just like classic mashed potatoes, the spicy mashed potatoes recipe also begins with cooking the potatoes in salted boiling water. But before you start cooking, peel the potatoes, and cut them into large chunks. This speeds up the cooking process and reduces cooking time.

Now, boil water in a large pot, season it with salt, and add the potatoes. Let it cook until the potatoes turn tender. The potatoes need to be cooked well so that they can be easily mashed into a smooth paste.

Once the potatoes become tender, drain the excess water. Start mashing the potatoes. You can use a potato masher to do this. This process is done in two steps – 

• First, roughly mash the potatoes. 
• Add all the spices to add to mashed potatoes, and mash them all again. Make sure they are mixed thoroughly after mashing.
