I was looking for a mashed potato recipe on Zaar and couldn't find one. So here it is. We have mashed potatoes with casserole, stew or just as a side. Also being gluten-free I often use a gluten free pastry for the base of a pie and just top it with mash. You can use any quantity of potatoes, butter and milk/cream to your preferences.

SERVES 6 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 kg potato, peeled
50 g butter
3/4 cup cream or milk (you can use a combination of both)
salt
white pepper, to taste

Directions

1
Peel and cut potatoes into approx equal size pieces.
2
Add potatoes to a saucepan of boiling water and boil until tender.
3
Drain the potatoes and return them to the saucepan.
4
Use a masher or ricer to mash the potatoes with. The longer you mash the smoother it will be (I just hate it when my mash has lumps!).
5
Add the butter and mash it into the potatoes until melted. Add the milk/cream and mash until a smooth consistency is achieved. Add more milk/cream if you would like a softer or sloppier mash.
6
Add salt and pepper to taste.
7
You can also mash in some softened onions, garlic or spring onions.
8
You can also use sweet potato (kumara) or any variety of potato to make mash with.

Simple classic and delicious. Sometimes I boil the potatoes with a few cloves of garlic if I want to add a garlic flavour.

Mmmmm, proof the simple things in life can be the best! I used a fraction extra butter with just milk and it gave a great smooth but substantial texture.

Yum. My favorite way to make mashed potatoes. Have made these more than once but keep forgetting to review the recipe. (1 kg is about 6 medium potatoes or 12 small new potatoes) I use half and half cream, kosher salt, and black pepper. Have also made them with one or more of these additions: grated cheese, fried onions, minced garlic, green onions chopped, and cream cheese. Sometimes I serve them in a bowl with melted butter on top with chopped green onion for garnish. Thanks for posting.
