How to Make Cannabis Mashed Potatoes

Ingredients:

• 2 pounds Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes
• 3 tbsps cannabutter.
• 1 tsp salt.
• ½ cup whole milk, warmed.
• ½ tsp black pepper.
• Chopped chives or parsley, for garnish.
• ¼ cup regular butter (optional).
• ¼ cup heavy cream (optional).
• 2 cloves garlic, minced (optional).

Tools:

• Large pot.
• Potato peeler.
• Sharp knife.
• Cutting board.
• Colander.
• Potato masher.
• Saucepan.
• Wooden spoon.
• Measuring cups and spoons.
• Serving bowl.

Instructions:

1. Prepare the potatoes: Peel the potatoes if you prefer extra smooth mashed potatoes, or leave some of the skin on for more texture. Cut them into evenly sized chunks, so they cook at the same rate.

2. Boil the potatoes: Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold, salted water. Bring everything to a boil, then reduce to a gentle simmer. Cook for about 15–20 minutes.

3. Warm the dairy: While the potatoes cook, gently warm the milk, heavy cream, and garlic (if using) in a small saucepan over low heat. Warming the liquid helps keep the mashed potatoes smooth instead of cooling them down.

4. Drain and mash: Drain the potatoes well and let them sit in the colander for about a minute. Transfer them back to the warm pot and mash until they reach your desired consistency.

5. Add the cannabis magic: Add the cannabutter to the hot potatoes and stir until completely melted. Slowly pour in the warm milk mixture while mixing until the potatoes become smooth and creamy. Season with salt and black pepper, tasting as you go!

6. Serve: Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving bowl and garnish with fresh chives, parsley, or even a small pat of melted cannabutter on top for an extra buttery finish.

Tips For Better Cannabis Pizza Rolls

• Don’t Overmix: Stirring too much can make mashed potatoes gluey instead of light and fluffy.
  
  
• Use the Right Potatoes: Yukon Gold potatoes naturally make extra buttery mashed potatoes, while Russets create an incredibly fluffy texture.
  
  
• Warm Ingredients Matter: Cold milk and butter can cool the potatoes too quickly and make them less creamy.
