Did I already post a recipe for mashed potatoes? Can remeber but I guess it doesn't hutr to make anotherone.
Where do mashed potatoes come from actually? There are those that believe they were invented in France as the result of a potato recipe competition. But no matter where their origins, no Thanksgiving dinner in America would be complete without fluffy homemade mashed potatoes drenched in turkey gravy.
Ingredients
- 2.5 kilograms potatoes
- 250 millilitres sour cream
- 200 grams cream cheese
- Salt and pepper
Instructions
1. Let cream cheese warm and soften enough to be used.
2. Peel and boil 4 to 6 medium – size potatoes for 20 to 25 minutes or until tender when pierced with the tip of a knife.
3. Drain potatoes in a colander, return them to the pot they were boiled in and shake over medium heat until the potato pieces are dry and mealy.
4. Puree potatoes by passing them through a food mill or potato ricer, by whipping them with an electric mixer, or by mashing them with a potato masher or heavy fork. Work out lumps as best as you can.
5. Add all other ingredients you are intended to include.
6. Add salt and pepper to taste – be careful with the amount. It is healthy to use less salt.
8. When ready to use take out of refrigerator and bake at 325 degrees for an hour, covered. After ½ hour baking take out and stir. Recover and bake the other 1/2 hour.
This is also cool if zou have leftover mashed potatoes and want to warm them to serve them again. On the other hand there are all sorts of leftover mashed potatoes recipes that can turn your mashed potatoes into a whole other meal.
