🧂 Ingredients for Irresistible Mashed Potatoes
Below’s a basic recipe that you can customize to your tastes, but with the perfect base to achieve a sublime result. ✨
✅ Ingredients (serves 4):
1 kg floury potatoes (Yukon Gold or Russet are ideal) 🥔
175 grams unsalted butter 🧈
100 ml hot single cream (you can use whipping cream) 🥛
Salt to taste 🧂
Optional: garlic powder, white pepper, nutmeg, or chopped chives 🌿
🔥 Step by Step: How to Make the Smoothest Mashed Potatoes
1. Cook the Potatoes Thoroughly
Peel the potatoes and cut them into evenly sized cubes so they cook evenly. 🧼 Place them in salted water and boil until very soft (about 20 minutes). 🕐
2. Remove Excess Moisture
Drain the potatoes and return them to the hot pot for 1 minute without water, stirring to evaporate the excess liquid. 🔥 This trick improves the final texture.
3. Mash with Technique
Use a potato masher or hand masher. Don’t use a blender or food processor! 😱 The idea is to achieve a creamy consistency without the potatoes becoming elastic or sticky.
4. Add Butter and Mix Gently
Add the butter little by little, letting it melt with the heat of the potatoes. This gives a delicious flavor and a silky base. 💛
5. Stir in the Hot Cream
This is the magic moment ✨. Add the hot cream slowly while mixing. You’ll notice the immediate change in texture! 😍
6. Season and customize
Adjust the salt, add pepper, a little nutmeg, or fresh herbs if desired. Your puree will be ready to shine. 👑
