1/ Prep the Potatoes: Peel the potatoes and cut them into large pieces.
2/ Boil Until Tender: Place the potatoes in a pot, add enough water to cover them, and season with coarse salt or a pinch of regular salt. Simmer over medium heat until tender.
3/ Warm the Dairy (Key Step!): Warm the milk and fresh cream in the microwave.
4/ Remove Moisture: Once the potatoes are soft, drain the water, return the pot to low heat, and stir briefly to evaporate excess moisture.
5/ Mash with Butter: Add the butter and mash the potatoes using a masher.
6/ Mix and Season: Gradually add the warm milk and fresh cream, mixing well. Season with salt, pepper, and a touch of nutmeg if desired.
โญ๏ธMake It Even Better: Mashed potatoes Secretsโญ๏ธ
โญ Warm milk and cream make all the difference!: Always use warm milk and fresh cream for the best texture. Serve your mashed popatoes warm for maximum enjoyment.
โญ Choose your dairy to match your taste!: Use milk, fresh cream, or crรจme fraรฎche depending on your preference. For a richer taste, go with fresh cream or crรจme fraรฎche; for a lighter version, milk is the way to go.
โญ More butter, more flavor!: The more butter you add, the richer and creamier your purรฉe will be. Adjust to your liking!
โญ A family favorite that disappears fast!: This dish is a staple in our homeโI always make 1kg of potatoes, and itโs gone in no time! If I ever have leftovers (which is rare), I use them for the next dayโs lunchbox or as a side for dinner.
โญ A side dish that goes well with many dishes!:
