How to Make Perfect and Creamy Mashed Potatoes
Do you love mashed potatoes? The best mashed potatoes are creamy, not too thick nor too thin. It is just the right amount of consistency. Since the starch content of potatoes differ from one kind to the other, plus the size of each potato is different, it is hard to quantify exactly how much milk to add into the mixture. The secret to make perfect mashed potatoes is to mix it while hot, and to add the milk a little at a time until you reach the perfect smooth consistency.
Ingredients to Make the Mashed Potatoes:
Potatoes
butter
Milk
Grated Cheese (optional)
Salt and Pepper to Taste
Procedure to Make the Mashed Potatoes:
1. Using a potato peeler, peel the skin off the potatoes.
2. Boil the potatoes.
3. When you can pierce a fork into the potatoes smoothly, the potatoes are done.
4. Drain the potatoes and transfer them into a bowl.
5. While the potatoes are still hot, quickly mash them using a fork or potato masher. Mash the potatoes well, until there are no more big pieces.
6. Add the butter. The butter will melt because the potatoes are still hot.
7. Add the grated cheese into the mashed potatoes (optional).
8. Pour milk slowly into the mashed potato mixture and mix well.
9. If the mashed potato mixture is still thick, add in more milk. Do not add too much milk at once.
10. Season with salt and pepper.
11. Your mashed potatoes are done! Serve while hot.
12. Pour gravy on top of the mashed potatoes if desired.
