THE POTATO QUESTION (1)
The humble potato......how to make the perfect mash ?
Peel 1 kg of floury potatoes such as Dutch Cream or Desiree.
Cut the peeled potatoes into chunks and place them in a saucepan of salted boiling water over a medium heat , covered for for 25 minutes untl they are tender .
Test with a skewer to make sure you test right to the middle to avoid lumps .
Remove the saucepan from the heat and drain the potatoes .
Return the potatoes to the hot saucepan and mash with a potatoe masher until smooth .
Add 5 tbs of butter/marg and continue to mash until it is all mixed in.
NOW here is the secret ......add 5 tbs of hot milk , potatoes absorb hot milk quickly , producing a creamier mash.
See simple !!!
