Perfect Mashed Potato

PERFECT MASHED POTATO

 

Serves 4

  • 2 lb (900g) floury-variety potatoes

  • 4 oz (110 g) butter

  • 1/4-1/2 pt (150. 275 ml) hot milk

  • Pinch of salt and pepper

  1. Choose even-sized potatoes and cook them at a simmer in enough salted water to cover.

  2. Drain, skin and, using a masher, Mouli legume or sieve, mash the potatoes with the butter to get rid of all the lumps.

  3. Adjust the seasoning, pour in about half the milk and, using a wire whisk, wooden spoon or fork, beat the potatoes for as long as your arm cart stand.

  4. Rest and do it again. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk. The results will be light and lump-free and the beginning of the end of leftover mashed potato.
