What is the champion recipe for the making the mashed potatoes?!


Question: Here's our recipe for perfect Yukon Gold mashed potatoes:

1 1/2 lbs yukon gold potatoes, peeled and quartered length-wise
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 Tbsp heavy cream
2 Tbsp butter
1 Tbsp milk
Salt and Pepper

A potato masher


1 Put potatoes into a saucepan. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt. Add water until potatoes are covered. Bring to boil, reduce heat and simmer, covered, 15-20 minutes, or until done - a fork can easily be poked through them.

2 Warm cream and melt butter, together, either in microwave or in a pan on the stove. Drain water from potatoes. Put hot potatoes into a bowl. Add cream and melted butter. Use potato masher to mash potatoes until well mashed. Use a strong spoon to beat further, adding milk to achieve the consistency you desire. (Do not over-beat or your potatoes will get gluey.) Salt and pepper to taste.

Serves 4.

Add milk & butter & mash well
Adding cheese makes them yummy too

After boiling the maris piper or king edward potatoes mash with a little olive oil, delicious!

Also, baby potatoes boiled and mashed in their skins are nice if you add a little butter and milk with a bit of seasoning.

On Hell's Kitchen they used a whisk to cream it, never tried it though!

add cheese or philadelphia!

Add salt, pepper and sour cream, then mash. You can also add a little garlic to taste.

This Thanksgiving I put butter,sour cream,and chicken broth in mine.....talk about YUMMY!!!

Whip with buttter,a little milk or cream,sour cream or cream cheese,garlic and onion powder or salt,white pepper.Green onion or chives are opt.Sometime I add chopped bacon and call them country potatos.

I use red 'rooster' spuds - a good all rounder available from supermarkets. Peel & cut 'em up into even chuncks, boil in salted water until tender & they slip off a knife when tested.Drain, leave in collander for 5min so moisture evaporates. Push 'em through a potatoe ricer,add hot milk & butter to achiece desired consistency beating with a wododen spoon. Season with salt & pepper.

Try the mash with cream and creamed horseradish it gives that extra zing..............Jason W

Salt, pepper, heavy cream, and REAL butter. Sometimes a touch of cream cheese

My favorite add ins-grated fresh parmesan, roasted garlic, garlic powder, crumbled bacon, thinly sliced scallions, chives

mash the quantity of boiled potatoes u need while still hot. Add a little milk to make it a little loose and shred in some cheese and garlic paste (optional) put on a low flame adjust ur salt and pepper seasoning and stir till it becomes smooth and thick. serve hot with minced meat or cold cuts.
If you are not watching your calories then a blob of butter on top is just right.

* 2 pounds of potatoes
* 1 teaspoon of salt
* 1 cup of half and half (half milk & half cream)
* 6 tablespoons of butter
* Salt and pepper, to taste and a pinch of nutmeg.

Use an electric hand held cheapo whisk.

With REAL butter.

Then at the very end - a splodge of milk and whisk it in with a fork to make them FLUFFY..........xxx
