Creamy Mashed Potatoes

If you own a Thermomix, mashed potatoes become incredibly easy and consistently creamy. What fascinated me the most was that the potatoes get boiled in milk instead of water. I think that is the secret to creamy mashed potatoes.

For the Mashed Potatoes
  • 1000 g Starchy potatoes
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 30 g Butter
  • 330 ml Milk

Equipment

  • 1 Thermomix

Method
 

  1. Insert butterfly whisk. Place cubed (5mm) potatoes, salt and milk in mixing bowl then cook 30-35 minutes/95C/speed 1 until cooked.
  2. Add butter then mash 30 sec/speed 3. Remove butterfly whisk and continue to mash until creamy and smooth texture.

Notes

Tips:
  • Check that potatoes are very tender before mashing. If they still seem firm, cook for the additional 5 minutes.
  • If you prefer a more liquid puree, add 100g of milk to step 2.
  • If you prefer Italian-style potato puree use only 1/2 teaspoon of salt in step 1, and add 30g grated Parmesan cheese in step 2.
  • The easiest mashed potato recipe. Use floury potatoes or from your vegetable garden.
