Good Old-Fashioned Mashed Potato image

I was looking for a mashed potato recipe on Zaar and couldn't find one. So here it is. We have mashed potatoes with casserole, stew or just as a side. Also being gluten-free I often use a gluten free pastry for the base of a pie and just top it with mash. You can use any quantity of potatoes, butter and milk/cream to your preferences.

Time 1h

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 kg potato, peeled
50 g butter
3/4 cup cream (you can use a combination of both) or 3/4 cup milk (you can use a combination of both)
salt
white pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Peel and cut potatoes into approx equal size pieces.
  • Add potatoes to a saucepan of boiling water and boil until tender.
  • Drain the potatoes and return them to the saucepan.
  • Use a masher or ricer to mash the potatoes with. The longer you mash the smoother it will be (I just hate it when my mash has lumps!).
  • Add the butter and mash it into the potatoes until melted. Add the milk/cream and mash until a smooth consistency is achieved. Add more milk/cream if you would like a softer or sloppier mash.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • You can also mash in some softened onions, garlic or spring onions.
  • You can also use sweet potato (kumara) or any variety of potato to make mash with.
