Mashedpotato Recipes

Steps:

• On a cutting board, peel the potatoes. Place the potatoes in a large bowl of cold water after peeling to avoid discoloration.
• Cut the potatoes into 1-inch (2 cm) cubes.
• Add the potatoes to a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 12 minutes.
• In a small saucepan, bring the milk, heavy cream, and garlic to a simmer over low heat.
• Remove the pot from the heat and strain the cream through a fine mesh sieve.
• Drain the potatoes in a colander and transfer back to the pot.
• Mash the potatoes with a potato masher, potato ricer, or by pushing through a fine mesh sieve with a spatula.
• Add the cubed cold butter and salt. Stir to combine.
• Gradually add the cream mixture to the potatoes, little by little, until fully incorporated.
• Top with freshly ground black pepper and sprinkle with chives and serve.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Peel, cut up and boil potatoes until tender.
• Drain water and put potatoes in a mixing bowl.
• Add margarine, sour cream and milk.
• Use an electric mixer and mix until desired consistency.
• The KEY here is to add salt and pepper to taste.
• You might add anywhere from a teaspoon to several tablespoons of salt, just depending on how much you like salt.
• Pepper is the same way, although use it more sparingly.
• Just remember to add a little at a time, until you get it where you like it.
• Once that is done, I usually put a couple of pats of margarine on top of the finished potatoes to let it melt.
• Then sprinkle parsley over it.
• This will make the best mashed potatoes I've ever found anywhere.

Steps:

• Put the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Generously salt the water and bring to a boil over high heat. Then lower the heat to medium and gently simmer until the potatoes are completely tender when pierced with the tip of a knife, about 30 minutes.
• Drain the potatoes well and return them to the pot. Place the pot over low heat and let any residual water steam off, about 2 minutes. Mash the potatoes well with a potato masher. Fold in the butter with a spatula until melted, and then fold in the cream. Season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Put potatoes in a large saucepan, and cover with cold water. Add 2 tablespoons salt. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain potatoes in a colander.
• Heat milk in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Press the potatoes through a ricer into a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water; stir until smooth. Pour in warm milk in a slow, steady stream, stirring constantly. Stir in butter, and season with salt and pepper

Steps:

• Tip the potatoes into a large pan, cover with cold water and sprinkle with a generous pinch of salt. Set the pan over a high heat and bring to the boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 15-20 mins until the potatoes are very tender - they should be able to be easily pierced with the tip of a knife. Drain well, then return to the pan and leave to steam-dry for 5 mins.
• Pass the potatoes through a ricer into a large bowl for a lump-free mash (you may need to do this in batches). Alternatively, mash with a potato masher until smooth, then press through a sieve using the back of a spoon to get rid of any remaining lumps.
• Tip the 50g Yeo Valley Organic salted butter, the milk and some seasoning into the bowl with the hot mash. Beat everything together with a wooden spoon or spatula until the butter has melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy. Add a splash more milk to loosen, if needed. Top with the remaining 1 tbsp butter and leave it to melt for a few seconds before serving.
