Tenderness, airiness, juicy yellow color and bright pleasant taste - these are the characteristics that mashed potatoes should have.
However, often the side dish does not turn out as tasty and beautiful as the gourmet would like.
It's all about the wrong cooking strategy and the omission of important ingredients.
Let's reveal the secret right away: the puree becomes tender and acquires a bright aroma when adding butter.
“But I already use this ingredient, and the dish still doesn’t turn out perfect!” many amateur cooks will probably complain.
The thing is that oil “works” only if the potatoes are cooked correctly.
How to cook potatoes correctly
The peeled nightshade should be placed in a pan of boiling water for 10 minutes.
Once the time is up, the broth should be drained and proceed to the second stage of cooking. This time, the vegetable should be processed in boiling milk. Pour in just enough of the drink so that the potatoes are completely covered in liquid.
The duration of the “milk” cooking should be approximately a quarter of an hour.
When to add oil
Are the potatoes done cooking in the milk? Remove the pan to the stove, mash the contents of the container with a masher and immediately add a piece of butter.
In this form, the dish should remain under the lid for five minutes.
Next, mix the mixture thoroughly. This will complete the preparation of the most delicate mashed potatoes.
