THE BEST MASHED POTATOES



The Best Mashed Potatoes image

This is our go-to recipe for classic mashed potatoes, made with plenty of butter and cream. To make them fluffy and flavorful, be sure to simmer them slowly and add plenty of salt to the cooking water. And don't skip the step of steaming the excess water off; leaving too much moisture in the potatoes causes them to be loose and gluey.

Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and quartered
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, cubed
3/4 cup heavy cream, heated

Steps:

  • Put the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Generously salt the water and bring to a boil over high heat. Then lower the heat to medium and gently simmer until the potatoes are completely tender when pierced with the tip of a knife, about 30 minutes.
  • Drain the potatoes well and return them to the pot. Place the pot over low heat and let any residual water steam off, about 2 minutes. Mash the potatoes well with a potato masher. Fold in the butter with a spatula until melted, and then fold in the cream. Season with salt and pepper.

ETHIOPIAN-STYLE LENTILS WITH YAMS (OR SWEET POTATOES)



Ethiopian-style Lentils With Yams (or Sweet Potatoes) image

This was adapted from a recipe on vegweb (http://vegweb.com/recipes/beans/3088.shtml), to incorporate more Ethiopian spices and use up a sweet potato I had on hand. It doesn't quite achieve the heights of my favorite Ethiopian restaurant, but it's quick, hearty and pretty tasty. Braver souls can substitute cayenne for some of the paprika

BEST EVER CREAMY MASHED POTATOES



Best ever creamy mashed potatoes image

Make everyone's favourite side dish, creamy mashed potatoes. This simple recipe results in fluffy, comforting mash that the whole family will love

Provided by Georgina Kiely - Digital food editor, bbcgoodfood.com

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 kg floury potatoes (like Maris Piper), cut into chunks
50g Yeo Valley Organic salted butter, plus 1 tbsp
50g whole milk

Steps:

  • Tip the potatoes into a large pan, cover with cold water and sprinkle with a generous pinch of salt. Set the pan over a high heat and bring to the boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 15-20 mins until the potatoes are very tender - they should be able to be easily pierced with the tip of a knife. Drain well, then return to the pan and leave to steam-dry for 5 mins.
  • Pass the potatoes through a ricer into a large bowl for a lump-free mash (you may need to do this in batches). Alternatively, mash with a potato masher until smooth, then press through a sieve using the back of a spoon to get rid of any remaining lumps.
  • Tip the 50g Yeo Valley Organic salted butter, the milk and some seasoning into the bowl with the hot mash. Beat everything together with a wooden spoon or spatula until the butter has melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy. Add a splash more milk to loosen, if needed. Top with the remaining 1 tbsp butter and leave it to melt for a few seconds before serving.

Tips:

  • For best results, use freshly boiled potatoes. If you are using leftover potatoes, make sure they are cold before mashing them.
  • Use a potato ricer or a food mill to get the smoothest mashed potatoes. If you don't have either of these tools, you can use a fork or a potato masher, but you may end up with some lumps.
  • Season the mashed potatoes to taste. You can use salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, or any other herbs or spices that you like.
  • If you are making the mashed potatoes ahead of time, you can store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you are ready to serve them, reheat them over low heat, stirring occasionally.
  • You can also freeze the mashed potatoes for up to 3 months. When you are ready to serve them, thaw them overnight in the refrigerator or at room temperature for several hours.

Conclusion:

Ethiopian mashed potatoes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be served with a variety of main courses. They are also a great way to use up leftover potatoes. With their unique blend of spices and flavors, Ethiopian mashed potatoes are sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
