America's Test Kitchen Mashed Potatoes Recipe
- 2 lb russett Idaho potatoes (6-7 medium) salt
- 1 c. warm half-and-half or possibly whole lowfat milk
- 4 Tbsp. butter (1/2 stick) Grnd black pepper
- Place whole potatoes in large pot with cool salted water to cover.
- Bring to boil over high heat then simmer, covered, till potatoes are just tender (about twenty min).
- Drain.
- Peel potatoes and put through food mill or possibly ricer into a hot, dry saucepan.
- Heat lowfat milk and butter in small saucepan till hot and butter is melted.
- Pour lowfat milk/butter mix into potatoes and mix well.
- Generously season with lots of pepper and serve.
- The "best" recipe is a matter of opinion, of course...but my opinion is which these are THE best mashed potatoes I've ever had.
- I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't tried it, but making mashed potatoes this way (cooking them whole and adding hot lowfat milk and melted butter) really does make a world of difference.
- I would eat these every day if I could:-)
