Good Old-Fashioned Mashed Potato

5.0(23)

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.

1 kg potato, peeledpotato
50 g butterbutter
3/4 cup cream (you can use a combination of both) or 3/4 cup milk (you can use a combination of both)cream

Instructions (8 steps)

01Peel and cut potatoes into approx equal size pieces.
02Add potatoes to a saucepan of boiling water and boil until tender.
03Drain the potatoes and return them to the saucepan.
04Use 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!).
05Add 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.
