To prepare mashed potatoes, as in a fine expensive restaurant, you need to remove as much as possible the remnants of moisture, which give the puree a watery taste.
It is necessary not only to carefully drain all the water in which the potatoes were cooked, but also to dry it. What to do?
- When the potatoes are cooked, leave them in a hot pan without a lid for 3 minutes or place on a dry hot pan and hold there until the remaining water evaporates.
- Then pour into the pan a mixture of equal amounts of milk and cream so that the potatoes were immersed in this mixture for at least a third of the volume.
- Turn on low heat under the pan, bring the milk with cream to a boil, add butter and remove from heat.
- Then mash the potatoes well.
- Then beat the puree with a blender. It will acquire not only a creamy taste, but also a homogeneous silky structure, it will become like cream.
