Mashed Potatoes
Friday 7 Jul 2006
Mashed potatoes require a little extra effort to make it perfect but the results will be great.
Processing the potatoes using a food processor, blender or any other motorized apparatus will turn the potatoes like a paste due to over-beating which breaks down its cells and releases their starch. While ricing or mashing potatoes by hand always produce a perfect mashed potatoes with the help of a ricer, food mill, potato masher or even just a wooden spoon.
The best-mashed potatoes are Russet and Yukon gold potatoes. In choosing them, select the firm potatoes without any sign of green and no soft or discolored spots. And lastly, do not refrigerate your potatoes because the potato starch will gradually change into sugar causing unpleasantly sweet potatoes that will not cook up well.
Try the other 5 variations:
· Chili Mashed Potatoes
· Velvety Mashed Potatoes
· Parmesan Mashed Potatoes
· Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes I
· Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes II
