Equipment

  • 1 Potato ricer
  • 1 Spatula
  • 1 Knife
  • 1 Pot

Ingredients
 
 

  • 8-10 pcs white floury potatoes
  • 5 tbsp milk
  • 150 gr fatty butter
  • 2 tbsp sour cream/ yogurt
  • 1 tsp salt
  • water for boiling the potatoes

Instructions
 

  • First, peel and rinse the potatoes well
  • Then, cut each potato into 6-8 pieces, according to their size
  • Place the potatoes into a pot and cover them with water
  • Place the pot on the stove, add ½ tsp salt and boil the potatoes for 15-20 minutes
  • Use a fork to check if the potatoes are cooked.
    TIP: If the fork pierces the potato completely, it means the potatoes are properly cooked.
  • Once the potatoes are cooked, use a lid or a sieve and drain almost the entire amount of water from the pot
    TIP: I like to keep a thin layer of the water the potatoes were cooked in on the bottom of the pot, as this will make them easier to mash and will result in fluffy mashed potatoes.
  • Add the butter
  • Using a potato ricer, smash the potatoes and the butter
  • Add the salt and the milk and continue to mix the mashed potatoes with the potato ricer
  • In the end, add the yogurt/ sour cream and mix the mashed potatoes with a spatula until the ingredients are completely incorporated
  • Serve the mashed potatoes warm, with a salad or next to a meat dish.
