CREAMY MASHED POTATO



Creamy Mashed Potato image

Recipe video above. This is my essential mashed potato recipe I make 362 days of the year*. It's a must-have at holiday gatherings and Sunday Suppers, and it's the mash you've seen smothered by sauces and gravies in hundreds of recipes on my website! Easy, creamy, buttery, rich but not insanely so (we have Paris Mash for that). Serve with everything. (*The other 3 days of the year I make Paris Mash, KFC Potato and Gravy, and Creamy Cauliflower Mash)

Categories     Sides

Number Of Ingredients 7

1.5 kg / 3 lb potatoes, peeled and cut into 2.5cm/1" cubes ((Preferably Sebago, Russet or Maris Piper, Note 1))
1 tbsp salt ((for cooking))
60g / 4 tbsp unsalted butter (, chopped)
1/3 cup milk (, preferably warmed)
1/2 tsp salt
Extra melted butter
Chives or parsley (, chopped)

Steps:

  • Place in a large pot with 1 tbsp salt. Add water so it's 10cm / 4" above potatoes.
  • Bring to a boil over high heat then reduce heat so it's simmering rapidly. Cook 15 minutes or until potatoes are very soft (jab with fork to test, they should fall apart).
  • Drain well, return into pot. Leave for 1 minute, shaking pot every now and then, to encourage evaporation of water.
  • Add Flavourings then mash well, using milk to make it looser if desired.
  • DO NOT use: a beater, stick blender, food processor or blender. You can pulse with a stand mixer or handheld mixer but be cautious, stop as soon as it's creamy (potatoes will quickly go from perfect to gluey using appliances).
  • Transfer to serving bowl, make pretty swirls across the top and drizzle over butter. Sprinkle with chives then serve!

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.

  • Peel and cut the potatoes into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking.
  • Bring the potatoes to a boil in salted water, then reduce heat and simmer until they are tender.

  • Serve the mashed potatoes immediately, or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
