Mashed potatoes

Preparations

Step 1

Cut potatoes into smaller pieces and cook for ~10 minutes or until soft – fork goes through easily.

Step 2

Strain potatoes and push them through potato press (like the IKEA one) back to the same pot. Add a pinch of salt.

Step 3

Add a splash of milk and a cube of butter. Mix until combined and butter melts and incorporates. Repeat this step until desired consistency is reached.

Step 4 (optional)

You can press the mashed potatoes through a sieve for maximal smooth consistency.

Notes

Don't blend potatoes – pressing them preserves better texture.
