Ingredients

  • 2 pounds Russet potatoes peeled and cut into ¾-inch cubes
  • 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt divided
  • ⅔ cup non-fat or low-fat 1% milk
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place cubed potatoes in a large saucepan and cover potatoes with cold water. Add 1 teaspoon kosher salt and set saucepan over high heat.
  2. Bring to a boil and cook until potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork, about 15 minutes.
  3. Drain potatoes, return to saucepan and set over medium heat, stirring the potatoes until dry, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and cover to keep potatoes warm.
  4. In a medium saucepan set over medium heat, combine milk, butter, remaining salt and freshly ground black pepper. Stir occasionally until butter is melted.
  5. Reduce heat to low.
  6. Rest a food mill, fitted with the medium disc, on top of the saucepan with the milk mixture.
  7. Working with about one-third of the potatoes at a time, run the potatoes through the food mill, directly into the saucepan. Alternatively, use a potato ricer.
  8. Using a rubber spatula (a heatproof one, please) stir the potatoes into the milk mixture until completely combined. Be sure to taste the mashed potatoes and adjust the seasonings, if necessary. Serve.
