Step 1
Start by tossing the potatoes and a splash of lemon juice into a big pot, then cover them with water. Bring it all to a boil over medium-high heat and let the potatoes cook until they’re nice and tender, which usually takes about 15 minutes. Once they’re soft, drain the water and get ready to mash. Use a potato masher to break them up, then stir in the egg white and butter until everything is combined. Slowly add the half-and-half while mashing until the potatoes reach the creaminess you like—feel free to add a little more or less. Finally, season with salt and pepper to taste, give it a good mix, and you’re done!
Why you’ll love it
These potatoes are creamy, light, and full of comforting flavor. They bring a classic touch to any meal and are easy to make with simple ingredients you likely have on hand.
How to serve
Serve these potatoes alongside roasted meats, steamed vegetables, or a fresh salad. They also taste great topped with a pat of butter, chives, or a sprinkle of cheese for extra richness.
Storage & leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat gently on low heat or in the microwave, adding a splash of milk to restore creaminess.
