There’s nothing like fluffy, creamy mashed potatoes, and this Yukon Gold Mashed Potatoes recipe has been my go-to for years.

I used to use russet potatoes in all of my mashed potato recipes, but once I tried them with yukon gold potatoes there was no going back.

Yukon golds have a high starch content and creamy texture that translates to the silkiest, fluffy mash ever, which is why I use them in my Instant Pot mashed potatoes and twice baked mashed potatoes as well.

This is my family’s most requested side dish, and has been a reader favorite for years!
