1/ Peel the potatoes and cut them into large pieces.
2/ Put the potatoes in a pot, add enough water to cover the potatoes, add coarse salt or a little salt, and simmer over medium heat until soft.
3/ Warm the milk and cream in the microwave (← Key point!)
4/ When the potatoes are soft, drain the water, return the pot to low heat, and stir to evaporate the water.
5/ Add the butter and mash the potatoes with a masher.
6/ Add warm milk and fresh cream little by little and mix. Add a little nutmeg and season with salt and pepper.
★The important point is to add warm milk and fresh cream. The potato puree can be served warm.
★Please use milk, fresh cream or crème fraîche according to your preference. If you prefer a richer taste, we recommend fresh cream or crème fraîche, and if you prefer a lighter taste, we recommend milk.
★The more butter you use, the richer the flavor will be. Please adjust the amount to your liking as well.
★It’s one of the popular items in our house, so it’s a side dish that often appears. I always make 1kg of potatoes because they disappear in no time. In the unlikely event that I have any left over, I re-introduce it to the next day’s lunch box or dinner side menu.
★Potato puree is useful as a side dish for various dishes. On this site, we also have marinated and oven-baked chicken with paprika powder lemon sauce, so please try it out!
