Mashed potatoes
Ingredients
- 1.1 kg of potatoes
- salt
- freshly ground black pepper
- 220 g cold butter
- 230 ml of milk
- 1 tablespoon of grated lemon peel
Directions
- Peel and cut the potatoes and boil them in salted water for 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat the milk. When you use warm milk instead of cold, the potatoes absorb the liquid better, which prevents them from becoming too rubbery.
- Unlike milk, butter should be added cold to potatoes.
- Slowly add pieces of butter to the boiled and mashed potatoes and mash them into a fine puree.
- Add just enough milk to make the potatoes creamy but still thick. About 1/4 of the milk, then add salt and pepper and the grated rind of one lemon.
- The lemon zest provides just enough acidity to cut through all the rich textures and flavors and add a nice freshness and balance to all the ingredients.
You'd never guess what the secret ingredient is – grated lemon peel, would you?
