Mashed Potatoes 101

December 18, 2015 by admin

Oven baked chicken in gravy with mashed potatoes and vegetables

It’s Cooking 101 and today’s lesson is Mashed Potatoes

  • Cut potatoes in uniform pieces. Add cold water to cover and bring to a boil.
  • Very important to use cold water, hot makes them mushy as they cook faster
    on the outside before cooking through to the inside.
  • Turn down to simmer and test with a knife by poking one, if it falls off
    they are done…if not a few minutes more…generally speaking 30 min.
  • Heat all dairy to be added in advance…butter, cream cheese, sour cream, milk
    heavy cream, half and half…so as not to add cold and potatoes cool down.
