Mashed Potatoes With Reconstituted Milk
- 4 pounds mealy/floury potatoes (high-starch, not waxy, e.g. russet)
- 200 milliliters Buttermilk
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 dash black pepper
- Peel potatoes, cut into 1 cm slices.
- Bring about 3 liters of water to a boil. Add enough salt (about a palmful) to make it taste pleasantly and noticeably salty.
- Add potatoes to boiling water. Allow to boil for about 10 minutes until you can push a fork through easily.
- Drain in colander, then sit colander back on top of pot used for boiling to keep hot and to allow potatoes to dry somewhat.
- Put butter and buttermilk in a bowl large enough to accommodate potatoes. Microwave to melt butter. Don't worry when buttermilk looks curdled.
- Using a potato ricer, rice potatoes into hot buttermilk/butter.
- Fold liquid into riced potato until just mixed, do not overwork. If too dry, add a little more buttermilk and butter.
- Taste for saltiness, add salt if needed, and grind in some black pepper.
- Can hold in warm oven covered with foil, or preferably serve immediately.
