Mashed Potatoes

Name: Mashed Potatoes
Total time: 35 min
Yield: 6
Ingredients: 5 potatoes, peeled and cubed (Yukon Gold or Russet); 1/2 cup butter, softened; 1/2 cup milk, warmed; Salt to taste

Creamy, buttery mashed potatoes made with warmed milk and softened butter folded in gently - cold dairy shocks the hot potatoes, and overmixing turns the starch gluey, so warming the milk and mixing gently is what keeps them silky instead of gummy.

Ingredients

•5 potatoes, peeled and cubed (Yukon Gold or Russet)
•1/2 cup butter, softened
•1/2 cup milk, warmed
•Salt to taste

Steps

1.Boil the potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, about 20 minutes.
2.Meanwhile, warm the milk gently in a small saucepan or the microwave - cold milk shocks the hot potatoes and cools them down.
3.Drain and return to the pot, then pass through a ricer or mash by hand.
4.Fold in the softened butter and warmed milk until smooth and creamy, mixing gently - overmixing activates the starch and turns the potatoes gluey.
5.Season with salt before serving.
