How To Make Buttery Mashed Potatoes

How To Make Buttery Mashed Potatoes

Buttery Mashed Potatoes Recipe. Creamy mashed potatoes: an everyday dish for the whole family to enjoy! Devour our Buttery Mashed Potatoes recipe.



Step 1:

You will need

  • 1 kg starchy potatoes
  • 200 g cubed butter
  • 250 ml milk
  • salt
  • 1 saucepan
  • 1 sieve
  • paper towel
  • 1 small knife
  • 1 whisk
  • 1 bowl
  • 1 rubber spatula


Step 2:

Boil the potatoes

Place the whole unpeeled potatoes into a large pan and then add enough water to cover. Season with salt and bring to a simmer for roughly 20-30 minutes.

VIDEOJUG TIP

Season with 10g of salt per litre of water.


Step 3:

Drain and peel the potatoes

Drain the water from the pan of potatoes, into the sink, using your spoon to stop the potatoes spilling over. Then fold two pieces of kitchen towel into two small squares. Take one cooked potato and hold it in the paper as they will be very hot.
Then using a small knife, carefully scrape off the skin, discard it and place the potato in a bowl. Take a second potato and once more scrape off the skin and place into the bowl. Repeat the process until all the potatoes are peeled.


Step 4:

Pass through a sieve

Wipe the pan clean that you used for boiling the potatoes. Then place a sieve over the pan. Take one peeled potato and using your rubber spatula break it up before pushing the potato through the sieve.
You can use a vegetable ricer for this process as well.

VIDEOJUG TIP

Starchier potatoes are better for this recipe.


Step 5:

Warm the milk

Place the milk into a pan under a medium heat and allow it to warm through. And then remove from the heat.


Step 6:

Dry the potatoes

Place the pan of mashed potatoes under a medium low heat and stir then dry the potatoes for a few minutes.


Step 7:

Add in the butter

Once the potatoes are dry, still keeping the pan under the heat, add in the butter little by little and fold in. To fold simply means to mix in gently. When the butter is totally incorporated only then add the next batch of butter.
Continue to add, fold and combine gently, until all the butter is used. Stir constantly to emulsify the fat from the butter.


Step 8:

Add the milk

Once the butter has emulsified add one third of the milk and then using your whisk mix the warm milk into the potatoes. Add in another third of milk, stir well and then whisk in.
Depending how you like your potatoes you can add a little more milk. Your potatoes should now have a creamy, loose consistency.


Step 9:

Season and remove

Season with some salt and whisk in well. Then remove from the heat.


Step 10:

Serve

Truffle oil or olive oil goes extremely well with mashed potatoes. So feel free to use either one of them for that extra special occasion.

    The fatty acids found in artery clogs are mostly unsaturated (74%) of which 41% are polyunsaturated. (Lancet 1994 344:1195) Saturated Fat (butter) does not clog arteries FACT.

    Unbelievable how little people know about FATS. Come on guys educate yourself, saturated fat is essential for you. Butter, lard, coconut oil are all EFA's and are all packed with nutrients. Saturated Fat is the preferred food for the heart, its polyunsaturates you should avoid. Margarines and Vegetable oils. Such as corn, safflower, sunflower and canola oil are all dangerous oils and are responsible for CHD.

    200g of butter is ridiculous for 2 people. Considering butter is over 80% fat content, that means each person will be consuming over 80g of fat, basically a whole daily allowance!
