Sous Vide Mashed Potatoes are perfectly rich and creamy, full of buttery and garlicky flavor. This is my all-time favorite side dish recipe and always a crowd fave! Unlike boiling potatoes in water, the sous vide method produces richer and more intense puree by immersing the potatoes in the buttery goodness during cooking, soaking up all the flavors!
05Sous vide cook the potatoes: Cook the vacuum-sealed potatoes in the water bath for 1 hour.
06Mash the potatoes: When the timer goes off, transfer the cooked potatoes to a large bowl, and add half of the liquid from the bag. Mash the potatoes with a potato masher until smooth, adding more liquid gradually if needed to your desired consistency. (Don’t mix too much or it will get gummy.)
07Taste and season: Add in extra salt and garnish with chopped chives and serve warm. You can also sprinkle chopped green onions, freshly grounded black pepper, add more butter, or other herbs/ seasonings!
