Make Mashed Potatoes

Soft, fluffy and oh so creamy!

Mashed potatoes are the perfect partner to many warm winter dishes.

When it’s prepared with care, this simple dish can be transformed into something special. 

Let me show you how…

Ingredients:

1kg  Potatoes

1t     Salt

1t   Baking Powder

1t   Salt

1T   Butter/Margerene

½C Milk

 

Tip: Read the label on the potato bag before you buy it. The label will indicate whether the potatoes can be used for boiling, roasting, chips, etc. 

1. Remove the potatoes from the bag and rinse them.

2. Peel the potatoes, cut them into medium size squares and rinse them again.

3. Put them into a pot, cover it with warm water and add 1teaspoon salt.

4. Cover the pot with a lid and bring it to the boil.

5. Cook on medium heat for 30 to 45 minutes.

6. Once, the potatoes are soft, drain all the warm water from the pot.

7. Add the Baking Powder, Butter, Milk and the other 1t Salt into the pot of hot potatoes.

8. Use a potato masher or a fork to mash and mix the hot boiled potatoes until they are smooth, light and fluffy.

Tip: Do not be alarmed when the Baking Powder starts to bubble, this is normal. Continue to mash and mix. This is my secret to light and fluffy mashed potatoes.

9. Dish it into a family size serving plate, share and enjoy…

This is comfort food at it’s best.

Lotsa Love
