American Mashed Potatoes
4 SERVINGS
Ingredients:
5 cups Russet potatoes, peeled, quartered
1/2 teaspoon Salt
2/3 cup Heavy cream, warmed
1/4 cup Butter, softened
To taste Salt
Method:
Cover the potatoes with cold water, add salt, bring to a boil, and simmer until tender, approximately 25 minutes.
Drain the potatoes and return to the pot. Cook over low heat for approximately 3 minutes to allow them to dry.
Mash, grind, or rice the potatoes.
Blend in the butter and cream (adjust the consistency as desired with warm cream or milk).
Season to taste with salt.
Chef Tips:
Mashed potatoes can be made by either baking or boiling the potatoes.When boiling, do not cut the potatoes too small, as they will become waterlogged and prevent the finished mashed potatoes from being light and fluffy, which is the desired texture for this starch.A ricer is a culinary tool frequently used to mash potatoes.
