Step by step

Method

  1. 01

    Wash and peel the potatoes. If the potatoes are large, cut them in half so they can be cooked faster.

  2. 02

    Pour a pan of water, put the potatoes there and put on a stove, on a medium fire. After 10 minutes, salt the potatoes, bring to a boil, reduce the fire, cover and cook until the potatoes are soft (you can check, for example, with a knife).

  3. 03

    When the potatoes are ready, drain the water and grind it well. I use a device that you can see in the photo (bought in Ikea) - it's kind of like a garlic crusher, only for potatoes.

  4. 04

    Place a pot of crushed potatoes on a small fire, pour the milk into the pan and add the butter. While heating the mashed potatoes, stir it until the oil dissolves. Then, mashed potatoes with milk and butter can be served to the table.

Ready to serve

Serve the dish as directed and enjoy it while it is at its best.

Bon appétit — enjoy your meal!
