Restaurant Style Mashed Potato
Classic restaurant style mashed potato, prepared with only 4 ingredients, perfectly creamy and easy to make.
Equipment
- small and medium size pot
- potato press or mouli
- colander
- sieve (mesh strainer)
- peeler
Ingredients
- 680 gram whole potatoes yukon gold, fingerling, dutch cream or sebago
- 130 grams full fat milk
- 85 grams unsalted butter
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Peel the potatoes and depending on size cut them in half or quarters. Place them in a pot with plenty of water and season with salt as you would for boiled potatoes.
- Bring the potatoes to a boil on high heat and reduce to a simmer. Cook them for about 20-30 minutes until they are tender but not falling apart.
- Meanwhile combine the milk and the butter in a small pot, add a pinch of salt and heat on a low flame. You want the butter completely melted into the milk. Time this step well with the boiling of potatoes as the milk/butter mixture should still be warm when the potatoes are cooked.
- Strain the cooked potatoes into a colander. Press or turn them in a potato masher or mouli into a pot, preferably heat up the pot on the stove for a few seconds to keep the potatoes warm.
- Add the warm milk and butter mixture to the potatoes and stir well with a wooden spoon. Taste the mashed potato and add salt if required.
- To make the mashed potatoes extra creamy and lump free pass them through a sieve (mesh strainer) using a firm spatula.
- To serve them restaurant style, transfer them into a serving bowl. Make pretty swirls on the top using a spoon. Drizzle with butter and garnish with fresh herbs.
Notes
Reheating mashed potatoes
The best way to reheat the mashed potatoes is on the stove on low heat. You will have to add more milk (and butter if you like) and stir the mashed potatoes constantly. Alternatively they can be re-heated in a microwave covered on a low temperature. You can add a cube of butter afterwards.
