Ingredients
- red potatoes - watch the video to see (peeled and quartered)
- water - watch the video to see (just enough to cover the potatoes)
- salt - watch the video to see (for seasoning water and to taste)
- milk - watch the video to see (part of dairy mix, melted)
- butter - watch the video to see (part of dairy mix, melted)
- cream - watch the video to see (part of dairy mix, melted)
Instructions
- Prepare Potatoes: Peel and quarter red potatoes. Place them in a pot with just enough water to cover. Set over medium-high heat.
- Cook Potatoes: Once the potatoes are about to simmer, season the water well with salt. Cook for about 20 minutes or until fork tender. Strain and let them steam dry for a few minutes.
- Rice Potatoes: Using a ricer or food mill, process the potatoes while they are hot to ensure a smooth texture.
- Mix with Dairy: Combine the riced potatoes with a melted mixture of milk, butter, and cream. Start with a bit of the dairy mixture and add more as needed to achieve desired consistency. Season with salt to taste.
- Final Touches: Avoid overmixing to prevent the potatoes from becoming gummy. Adjust the dairy content based on how loose you prefer your mashed potatoes.
