How to cook Homemade Mashed Potatoes Recipe
Homemade Mashed Potatoes Recipe Ingredients:
2 pounds potatoes (russets or yukon golds)
1/2 cup half-and-half
3 tablespoons butter
salt and pepper
Let’s get started. Take your potatoes and peel them. Then cut them
in a few big pieces. Like three or four pieces. Sure they will cook
for a bit longer but they will also suck in less water and taste better
because of it. Now put those cut potatoes into a pot and cover them
with cold water. and add some salt. Bring them to boil and then let
them simmer for about 15 minutes. How do you know your potatoes are
cooked? Pierce one with a knife or a fork - if its soft then it’s
done.
Now comes a little trick that will get rid of even more water and
will make this homemade mashed potatoes recipe taste even better.
First drain the potatoes and then return them to your pot and put
them back on your stove set to low heat. This will make all the excess
water evaporate. Just be careful you don’t burn them.
Now its time to mash the potatoes. Add some more salt and pepper (taste
the potatoes!) and add warm half milk half cream to your mashed potatoes.
Then use a wire masher or a potato ricer or whatever… :) even a fork
will work if you are in the wilderness :) and mash the potatoes. And
you are done and this homemade mashed potatoes recipe is finished.
