Question

Mashed Potato

Answer 1

INGREDIENTS

680G Yukon Gold potatoes,

peeled and cut lengthwise into

quarters

½ tsp salt

4 tbsp heavy cream

2 tbsp butter

1 tbsp milk

Salt and pepper

COOKING STEPS

1 Place the peeled and cut potatoes into a medium saucepan. Add cold water to the pan until the potatoes are covered by at least an inch. Add a half teaspoon of salt to the water. Turn the heat on to high, and bring the water to boil. Reduce the heat to low to maintain a simmer, and cover. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes, or until you can easily poke through them with a fork.

2 While the potatoes are cooking, melt the butter and warm the cream. You can hear them together in a pan on the stove or in the microwave.

3 When the potatoes are done, drain the water and place the steaming hot potatoes into a large bowl. Pour the heated cream and melted butter over the potatoes. Mash the potatoes with a potato masher. Then use a strong wooden spoon (a metal spoon might bend) to beat further. Add milk and beat until the mashed potatoes are smooth. Don’t over beat the potatoes or the mashed potatoes will end up gluey. Add salt and pepper to taste.
