Mashed potatoes are a side dish that can accompany almost all your meat and chicken dishes. Milk is used in classical Turkish cuisine. However, if you use cream instead of milk, you will have a much more delicious porridge. There are also a few technical minor details. Enjoy your meal!
Wash and peel the potatoes. Chop roughly into 5-6 cm cubes. Make sure they are the same size as possible.
Put 4-5 glasses of cold water in a suitable pot. Add 1 teaspoon of salt before taking it to the stove. Add the potatoes, cook until soft, drain and put in a colander. Leave it in the colander for 1-2 minutes so that the excess water will evaporate.
Return the potatoes to the pot. Mash well with a masher or fork.
You can grate the potatoes instead of mashing them. But don't run it through the rondo. This will cause the structure of starch to deteriorate and creep.
In order to evaporate the cold water of the mashed potatoes and heat it, take the pot back to the stove and turn it 1-2 turns. Add 2 tablespoons of butter at room temperature and 4-5 tablespoons of cream, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of black pepper and mash together for another 2-3 minutes until homogenized.
Take the puree, which you have turned for about 10-15 seconds without holding the bottom, from the fire and serve it hot without waiting.
If you are going to serve the puree later, put it in a glass bowl. Cover it with cling film by pressing it airtight with your hand and store it in the refrigerator. At the time of serving, you can add 2-3 spoons of milk and mix it and heat it on the stove. Enjoy your meal!
