Yahoo Finance This Tip For Getting Even Creamier Mashed Potatoes Is So Simple It’s Ridiculous
Tell me a better side dish than creamy mashed potatoes…
Chips are quite good, I suppose. But I still prefer me some mashed potatoes. Or even better… mashed sweet potatoes. Mmmmmmmm.
Anyway, there are lots of tips, tricks and recipes out there for getting the creamiest, tastiest mashed potatoes of your life. But we think this one might just be the best yet. And it’s all to do with the actual mashing.
First things first, cook your potatoes – whether that’s in water or milk (if you haven’t tried this hack yet, do it immediately). Then once they’re boiled, drained and ready to be turned into mashed potatoes, put your potato masher back in the drawer. Yup – you won’t be needing that today.
Instead, get your electric whisk out of the cupboard and plug that little fella in.
Chuck in whatever you usually add to mashed potatoes – butter, milk, mayonnaise (don’t knock it ‘til you’ve tried it), salt, pepper etc – then put your electric whisk in the middle of the pan with the potatoes. Turn it on and gently move it around the pan. It’s best to keep it on the slowest setting, certainly to begin with, to save you getting mash on your ceiling and all over your face.
Once it looks like a deliciously creamy mashed potato cloud (and it will), serve it with toad in the hole, roast beef or whatever takes your fancy.
Use it for a pillow if that’s what you’re into. We wouldn’t blame you, tbh.
