Unbelievable, my new way of preparing mashed potatoes!

[thecuisineathome]

A pinch of nutmeg makes it even greater

[Garapetsa]

Very different. I've always par boil my potatoes. .drain and then steam back in pan. the secret is to get them dry. then I add milk, butter dill sour cream.

[newzealand]

wow! ive never seen mashed potatoes been made like this before! nice!

[belitega]

i think by boiling the potatos like we all are used to. the potatos lost their taste maybe. by baking them like Akis did they keep their flavor. sometimes simple recipes like this one are the best. I understand why he said the best mash potatoes. I once make mash potatoes with butter, salt and pepper like he did but I baked it insted of cooking it on a skillet and turn out wonderful and tasty 😋

What? No extra Greek virgin olive oil? :O

Interesting. I usually use the pink potatoes as they contain less moisture. I boil them peeled, in salted water. When they are soft, I add butter, some milk and use a hand mixer. They do not get chewy at all, but super creamy. When perfectly smooth, I adjust the salt and pepper us add a pinch of baking soda. This will get the mashed potatoes really fluffy.

Not sure if I'll make this but I definitely want to eat it! That's the smoothest mashed potato I've ever seen, naughty but nice with all that butter :)

[lukewithann]

this seems like a lot of work. i usually just boil them peel them and mash them with a masher and a few nobs of butter! smooth enough :P

Thanks very much for the recipe, a very unusual way to make mashed potatoes. Need to invest in a strong sieve if I try that method, bet they do taste great. My mashed potatoes are ok but generally get lumps so this method will be guaranteed very lovely smooth potatoes. I like the fact that Akis re-heats the potatoes as mine always cool off before serving.

akis, could you a cake or something using "Dates" or any kinda recipe using "dates"

[chetramsingh]

Made your mashed potatoes. It was excellent1!!

[EmilEklund]

How does mashed potatoes ever get chewy? Anyway, I do like the idea of baking the potatoes instead of boiling them, i may try that sometime. Good video.

[tamaraa.]

no drizzling with some extract greek virgin olive oil? 😅

[robinh]

I'm so going to try them!!! <3

this is delicious for smooth mashed potatoes by i personally like mine with chunks ^^

[roukvelki]

My appologies to Akis and the page fans for my previous comment

[stevecox]

this may sound like a daft question, but is the salt ok to re-use after the baking?

[lifebeyondrepair]

this is more puree than mashed potatoes, as far as i know mashed potatoes are not entirely smooth.
a bit time consuming, but worth a try
