Hi everyone its Natasha of Natashaskitchen.com and today i'm sharing the secrets
to the creamiest, velvety smooth mashed potatoes.
These whipped potatoes are easy and shockingly good. Everyone will ask you
for the recipe. Start by peeling four pounds or twelve russet potatoes. If you
want the smoothest potatoes possible, remove the little knots from the
potatoes with a small spoon or paring knife and of course our regular potato
peeler disappeared during our move so we had to improvise with this torture tool.
Rinse the potatoes to remove any excess starch and to keep them from discoloring.
Transfer them to a large pot and add just enough cold water to cover the top
of the potatoes. Bring that to a rolling boil over high heat then reduce the heat
to a light boil. Partially cover and cook until they're easily pierced with a
knife which is about 20 to 25 minutes, depending on the size of your potatoes.
Drain the potatoes really well, then transfer them to the bowl of your stand
mixer.
Grab the whisk attachment and mash the potatoes coarsely by hand just to break
them up. Transfer the bowl on to your stand mixer
and with the same whisk attachment beat on low speed for 30 seconds, then
increase to medium speed and slowly drizzle in the hot milk. Use 1 to 1.25
cups of hot milk. The potatoes should look creamy but not
overly loose. With the mixer on add 16 Tbsp or one cup of softened
unsalted butter, adding it one Tbsp at a time and waiting a few seconds
between each addition. Slowly whipping in the softened butter
gives the potatoes the best texture and flavor.
Finally add one and a half tsp of sea salt or season to taste. Alright look
how creamy this is.
Want to get every bit of this goodness. I'll lick that later... All right, now
we're gonna serve it because I'm getting hungry and I've got steak and veggies to
go with this. I just didn't want to bring them out because I don't want to make you
guys crazy jealous. Okay, here we go. Just show you guys how velvety smooth
and fluffy these whipped potatoes are.
Ahh... Wow! Oh my goodness! These are holiday worthy,
special for company and my children's favorite mashed potatoes. They are so
creamy and buttery and really truly delicious. Okay and the secret to making
potatoes look incredible is - don't laugh... Drizzle just a little bit of melted
butter over the top,
just like that and then add a little bit of fresh parsley and you can also use
dill if you prefer dill. Okay, just a little sprinkle of fresh green pop of
color and flavor. Perfect, okay and we're gonna do the taste test because I'm
hungry and this is just calling my name big time, okay.
I need another spoon, here we go - a fork. This will do it.
That is so creamy and buttery and delicious. Wow and this recipe is so easy
because potatoes should be easy. Make this for your next special occasion or
just for dinner tonight because it's really good and worth
trying. I hope you try this. I know you'll love it
