How to Make Mashed Potatoes

Ingredients :-

• 5 to 6 medium sized Potatoes
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 4 Tbsp heavy cream
• 2 Tbsp butter
• 1 Tbsp milk
• Salt and Pepper

How To Make It :-

Place the peeled and cut potatoes into a medium saucepan. Add cold water to the pan until the potatoes are covered by at least an inch. 

Add a half teaspoon of salt to the water. Turn the heat on to high, and bring the water to a boil. Reduce the heat to low to maintain a simmer, and cover. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes, or until you can easily poke through them with a fork.

While the potatoes are cooking, melt the butter and warm the cream. You can heat them together in a pan on the stove or in the microwave.

When the potatoes are done, drain the water and place the steaming hot potatoes into a large bowl. 

Pour the heated cream and melted butter over the potatoes. 

Mash the potatoes with a potato masher. 

Then use a strong wooden spoon (a metal spoon might bend) to beat further. 

Add milk and beat until the mashed potatoes are smooth. Don't over-beat the potatoes or the mashed potatoes will end up gluey.

Add salt and pepper to taste.
