Creating Perfectly Smooth Mashed Potatoes
Mashed potatoes are a versatile side dish that pairs well with many meals, from fried chicken to turkey dinners. To make them, start peeling and boiling the potatoes until they are tender. Then, mash them with a potato masher or a fork, adding warm milk and butter until they reach the desired consistency.
For perfectly smooth mashed potatoes, use a ricer or a food mill to puree them, giving them a silky texture. Adding butter and milk while the potatoes are still warm is essential to prevent lumps from forming. However, please do not overdo it with the milk, or it may become runny.
