GOOD OLD-FASHIONED MASHED POTATO



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.

Categories     Potato

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.

OLD-FASHIONED POTATO SALAD



Old-Fashioned Potato Salad image

This classic potato salad is a family favorite. It is made with plain, honest, good old-fashioned ingredients...Yukon Golds (which hold up well after cooking), hard-boiled eggs, celery, and onions...a dressing made with purchased mayonnaise, ballpark-style mustard, a few splashes of cider vinegar and lemon juice, and the enhanced richness of mashed hard-boiled eggs. I guarantee that everyone will want seconds (I was told that one of my nephews ate a whole bowl at one sitting...WOW!!). This salad can easily be doubled or tripled for those larger crowds.

Categories     Salad Dressings

Time 45m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 lbs yukon gold potatoes
4 large hard-boiled eggs, divided
1 1/2 cups chopped celery
1/2 cup chopped yellow onion
1/2 cup mayonnaise (Hellmann's is my favorite. And, please, NOT reduced-fat or nonfat)
2 1/2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice (plus more, if needed)
1 1/2 teaspoons cider vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons ballpark-style yellow mustard (I like French's, NOT Dijon)
1 teaspoon kosher salt (plus more, if needed)
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper (ground red pepper)
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley (Italian parsley)

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot with 3 quarts of water to a boil. While water is coming to a boil, peel and cut potatoes into 1-inch dice. Add diced potatoes to boiling water and cook about 10 minutes, or until tender (NOT mushy) when pierced with a knife. Remove and drain well in a colander.
  • Place potatoes in a large non-reactive bowl (a glass bowl is best), and cool to room temperature. Chop 3 of the hard-boiled eggs and add to the bowl with the chopped celery and onion. Mix well to blend.
  • Mash the remaining egg in a small bowl, then add the mayonnaise, 2 1/2 teaspoons of lemon juice, vinegar, mustard, 1 teaspoon of salt, and cayenne. Whisk well to blend. Add to the bowl with the potatoes and mix well to combine. Taste and season with a little more salt and lemon juice, if needed. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until needed (Salad can be made 6 hours ahead, bring to room temperature for 30 minutes before serving).
  • When ready to serve, sprinkle with the chopped parsley.
