Water - enough to cover the potatoes (for boiling)
Instructions
Boil the Potatoes: Boil the Ratte potatoes until fully cooked. It's crucial to peel the potatoes after boiling to prevent water from seeping in, which can affect the texture.
Dry the Potatoes: After boiling and peeling, dry the potatoes over no heat to get rid of any excess moisture. This step helps to concentrate the flavors.
Mash the Potatoes: Use a potato ricer to mash the potatoes. This tool helps avoid a gluey, stringy texture. For an incredibly smooth consistency, pass the mashed potatoes through a sieve to remove any bits.
