NO FAIL MASHED POTATO
What’s better than a big bowl of mashed potatoes? How about a big bowl of mashed potatoes that don’t involve the standard kitchen wrestling match? You know the one, where you wrestle with the pot, the potato masher, and the mysterious ‘just one more’ ingredient? This recipe cuts out the drama and makes it a breeze!
Ingredients
- 2 kg of potatoes (the good kind, not the ones you forgot in the back of the pantry)
- 100 g of butter (because really, butter makes everything better)
- 200 ml of cream (or milk, if you’re feeling virtuous)
- Salt and pepper to taste (bring on the seasoning magic!)
- Optional: garlic, herbs, or anything else your heart desires (or your fridge contains)
Instructions
- First, chop the potatoes into chunks. Don’t chop them too small, or they might dissolve into potato soup (which is a different story altogether).
- Throw them into the Thermomix and add enough water to cover them. Let that little machine do its magic! (And marvel at how you’ve leveled up in the kitchen.)
- Once the potatoes are soft and tender, drain them like a pro while keeping your other hand on the Thermomix lid. We don’t need any splash disasters here!
- Now, add the butter. Yes, ALL of it! Stir that in until it melts and becomes one with the potatoes.
- Pour in the cream (or milk) and start blending. You’re aiming for a smooth, fluffy texture, so mix it until it looks like heaven in a bowl.
- Lastly, season with salt and pepper. Taste test until it’s absolutely perfect! (You may need to eat a spoonful or two to ensure quality, just a heads up).
And voilà! You have a bowl of mashed potato perfection. Time to gather your friends and family, serve these delightful clouds of joy, and bask in the praises that are sure to follow. Just be ready to share the secret that there’s no failing with this recipe!
