Smooth Mashed Potatoes
Floury potatoes passed through a sieve while hot, then worked with butter and milk until smooth.
Method
Steps
Step 1
Gather the ingredients: 500 g large floury potatoes; 50 g butter; 100 ml whole milk, or cream; Salt; Water for boiling.
Step 2
Scrub the potatoes and boil them whole for about 25–35 minutes, depending on size. They are ready when a thin skewer passes freely all the way through.
Step 3
Drain, peel while still hot but safe to handle, and press through a potato ricer or fine sieve into a saucepan.
Step 4
Add the butter, milk and salt. Work over low heat with a wooden spoon for about 5 minutes until smooth and finely textured. Use cream in place of the milk if preferred. Serve hot.
