evaporated milk: evaporated milk has a lot of flavors. the sugar is slightly caramelized so it adds a nice rich color and some extra flavor regular milk doesn’t.

butter: the key to restaurant mashed potato or sweet potato is butter. i keep a lot of softened butter on hand when making potatoes. adding it in by the tablespoon add for rich and creamy potatoes.
