I was looking for a mashed potato recipe on Zaar and couldn't find one. So here it is. We have mashed potatoes with casserole, stew or just as a side. Also being gluten-free I often use a gluten free pastry for the base of a pie and just top it with mash. You can use any quantity of potatoes, butter and milk/cream to your preferences.
Hands-Free Mode Off
Equipment
Saucepan, potato masher or ricer
Ingredients
- 1 kg potato, peeled
- 50 g butter
- 3/4 cup cream (you can use a combination of both) or 3/4 cup milk (you can use a combination of both)
- salt
- white pepper, to taste
Instructions
Peel and cut potatoes into approx equal size pieces.
Add potatoes to a saucepan of boiling water and boil until tender.
Drain the potatoes and return them to the saucepan.
Use a masher or ricer to mash the potatoes with. The longer you mash the smoother it will be (I just hate it when my mash has lumps!).
Add the butter and mash it into the potatoes until melted. Add the milk/cream and mash until a smooth consistency is achieved. Add more milk/cream if you would like a softer or sloppier mash.
Add salt and pepper to taste.
You can also mash in some softened onions, garlic or spring onions.
You can also use sweet potato (kumara) or any variety of potato to make mash with.
