The secret to perfect mashed potatoes
Many will agree that mash potatoes are basically the best thing ever - but they’re not necessarily the easiest thing to get right every time.
Whether it’s working out exactly how long to boil them for, how much butter or cream or milk to add, and what masher to use, there are so many ways they could turn out.
We’ll be the first to admit that not every batch turns out perfect every time.
Thankfully there is apparently a way – which is something we’ve all been doing wrong – to get the fluffiest, most amazing mashed potatoes.
TV chef Tyler Florence has revealed that he doesn’t boil his potatoes in water because you lose all the flavour from the potato that way.
“When you cook potatoes in water and you pour that water down the drain, you've extracted all the flavour of the potato,” Tyler told Popsugar.
“So what I do with mashed potatoes is I'll take the cream and butter and add that to the potatoes and cook the potatoes in cream and butter.”
Tyler instruct to put the cold, peeled potatoes, cream, butter and olive oil into a pan. He also likes to add garlic, sage and rosemary for added flavour. Cover the pot and boil for 20 minutes until fork tender.
The he says to grab a bowl and colander and pour the contents of the pot through so the potatoes are drained and the cream mixture collects in the bowl.
Add the cream back to the potatoes and mash away.
“It's the best mashed potato you'll ever taste in your entire life."
