How To Make The Creamiest Mashed Potatoes

"Because it's Tasty we're going to add more butter" They've become self aware

[owltrowel]

RECIPE:
6 Yukon Gold potatoes (or 4lbs)
2 tsp kosher salt
1 stick unsalted butter, melted
1 cup heavy cream
2 sprigs of rosemary
1 head of crushed garlic

• Peel the potatoes and place them in a bowl of cold water while working
• Cut potatoes into 1 inch cubes and add them to a pot of cold water
• Add the 2 tsp of salt to the bowl
• Bring potatoes to a soft boil over high heat. Once you’ve reached a boil, reduce the temp to low heat and simmer for 12 minutes (they are ready when fork-tender)
• Drain potatoes through colander and put them back into the pot over medium-high heat and stir for 2-3 minutes (they should be dry when done)
• Put the potatoes into a fine mesh sieve and use a spatula to *gently* push the potatoes down into bowl
• Add 1 stick of melted butter first into the potatoes and mix
• Add heavy cream to saucepan over medium-high heat and add rosemary and garlic (optional). Simmer for a few minutes and drain out the rosemary and garlic through a sieve
• Add the cream to potatoes little by little and you’re done!
I apologize for any mistakes!

I've never seen such a heavy romance between a human and Potato's before.

I’ve tried this recipe today and oh my god, that sieve trick made my mashed potatoes soooo smooth, not a single trace of lumps, it was like heaven and when the potatoes goes through the sieve, it was beautiful, looked like snow! 10/10 you guys should try this out, you’ll come out with the most amazing mashed potatoes.

Edit: make sure your potatoes are well boiled, poke a fork through it and it should break apart very easily (can’t give a time due to type of potato, number of potatoes and how diced they are)

Use the back of a wooden spoon! Bendy spatula is harder to work with. I work with the back of a rice cooker spoon and it works very well when using the sieve trick.

Don’t dump in a ton of potatoes in the sieve. Do little by little, clean the bottom of the sieve by removing the potatoes stuck to it and then add the next little batch.

Make sure there is a good amount of space between the bottom of the sieve and the pot/bowl you’re mashing it into. Not like 1 or 2 inch between the bowl and the bottom of the sieve, more space in between. Idk why lol

And yes, don’t add all your milk at once, little splashes, mix it and then you determine whether more is needed

And if you like your mashed potatoes lumpier, then the sieve trick might not be for you

My mom said, when I used to cook mashed potatoes I didn't use all those ingredients. Like damn, that's why yo mashed potatoes tasted like a ashy elbow!

I mash mine with my Fist, and flavor them with my Tears. Then I go buy instant because mine are gross and lumpy.

Ive always wanted to make this recipe, not only for me, but also for my grandma! We made it together today and it's super worth it 😭✨

We made these mash potatoes 🥔 at home and made a few changes:
1- we swapped the cream with milk 🥛
2- we use the microwave and garlic 🧄 granules
3- we used a random type of potatoes 🥔
these changes made no difference to the original that we had made before. tasted just as good!

I am Irish.
I have been mashing potatoes for 40 years.
I was taught by the women who came before me and is probably a method that goes back hundreds of
The tip about stirring drained potatoes over low heat for a couple of minutes to release extra moisture, stunned me!
I LOVE watching your videos.
I am a great self taught chef, but I never tire of doing it better.
Thank you for all that you bring to my world of food!
