I am fond of Mashed Potatoes, here is a simple recipe of Mashed Potatoes.
Perfect Mashed Potatoes Recipe:
INGREDIENTS:
1 1/2 lbs yukon gold potatoes, peeled and quartered length-wise1/2 teaspoon salt4 Tbsp heavy cream2 Tbsp butter1 Tbsp milkSalt and Pepper
METHOD:
1 Put potatoes into a saucepan. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt. Add water until potatoes are covered. Bring to boil, reduce heat and simmer, covered, 15-20 minutes, or until done – a fork can easily be poked through them.
2 Warm cream and melt butter, together, either in microwave or in a pan on the stove. Drain water from potatoes. Put hot potatoes into a bowl. Add cream and melted butter. Use potato masher to mash potatoes until well mashed. Use a strong spoon to beat further, adding milk to achieve the consistency you desire. (Do not over-beat or your potatoes will get gluey.) Salt and pepper to taste.
