For an extra layer of flavor, try browning the butter before adding the half-and-half and chipotle peppers. If you prefer a smoother consistency, you can use a ricer or food mill instead of a potato masher or mixer. Garnish with chopped fresh chives or a sprinkle of smoked paprika for a pop of color and flavor. Adjust the amount of chipotle peppers to your preferred level of spiciness. Remember that the adobo sauce also adds flavor and heat. For a richer flavor, substitute heavy cream for the half-and-half. This recipe is easily doubled or tripled to serve a larger crowd.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
20 mins
Place the chopped potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold, salted water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium and simmer until the potatoes are tender but still slightly firm when pierced with a fork (about 15-20 minutes).
02
Step
5 mins
While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the chipotle-ranch butter sauce. In a small saucepan, combine the softened butter, half-and-half, and minced chipotle peppers. Heat over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the butter is melted and the ingredients are well combined (about 5 minutes). Remove from heat and set aside.
03
Step
1 mins
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them thoroughly in a colander. Return the drained potatoes to the pot or transfer them to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.
04
Step
1 mins
Pour the chipotle-ranch butter sauce over the potatoes. Add the Original Ranch Salad Dressing & Seasoning Mix.
05
Step
3 mins
Using a potato masher or the stand mixer on low speed, mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in gummy potatoes.
06
Step
1 mins
Season the mashed potatoes with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Serve immediately.

Jun 10, 2025I found the chipotle peppers to be a little too spicy for my taste. Next time, I'll use half a tablespoon instead of a full tablespoon.
