Kartoffelmos (Mashed Potatoes)
This may be the best way to enjoy potatoes! We are obsessed with these creamy, buttery mashed potatoes that are an amazing side to any main dish.
Ingredients
- 2.2 kg (5 lbs) potatoes (about 12 medium potatoes)
- 70 grams (5 tbsp) unsalted butter
- 240 ml (1 cup) milk
- 240 ml (1 cup) heavy cream
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Wash, peel, and cut the potatoes into 1 inch, equal sized pieces.
- Add to a large pot and cover with cold water.
- Bring the potatoes to a boil; boil for 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are soft and a knife or fork goes through a piece of potato with no resistance.
- When the potatoes are almost ready, heat up milk, butter, and cream on the stove until the butter melts. Turn off the heat and set aside until ready to add to the potatoes.
- Drain the potatoes.
- If you have a ricer, pass the potatoes through the ricer. If not, you can mash using a masher or even a large fork - whatever you have works! Now is also a good time to add some salt to the potatoes.
- Add the milk mixture a bit at a time until you reach the desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper.
- Keep the potatoes warm until you're ready to serve - use as a delicious side for any meal! Enjoy!
