Ingredients

  • 3 lb (1.4kg) potatoes
  • Water for cooking
  • 8 tbsp (113g) butter, room temperature
  • 1 cup milk
  • 3/4 tsp salt, or to taste (and more for cooking)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Peel the potatoes, cut them into smaller pieces, rinse and add to a pot. Cover the potatoes with water, generously salt them and bring to a boil. Cook the potatoes for 15-20 minutes. Note: the smaller you cut the potatoes, the faster they will cook.
  2. Meanwhile, heat up the milk in a stainless steel cup or a small saucepan. Heat the milk on very low heat as you don't want it to come to boil. The milk should be hot, but not boiling.
  3. Drain the potatoes. Using a potato masher, mash the potatoes. You can also use your hand mixer to mash them up a bit before whipping, if you prefer.
  4. Add butter, half of the hot milk to the mashed potatoes and beat using a hand mixer. Keep adding more milk until your potatoes reach the desired, smooth, creamy consistency. You may or may not use up all the milk.
  5. Add salt to taste and beat further until salt is well incorporated. Serve hot.

Notes

  • - Adjust butter to preference. The more butter, the creamier the potatoes will be, but more butter also means more calories.
