Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 kilo potatoes 2 pounds
  • 225 ml milk
  • 60 grams butter salted
  • 2 teaspoons sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • fresh thyme to garnish

Instructions

  • Wash and peel the potatoes.
  • Cut them into similar-sized chunks (about 2-3 cm or 1.5 inch cubes).
  • Place the chunks in a medium-sized pot and top with cold water.
  • Bring to a boil, then let the potatoes simmer for 15-17 minutes, until they are soft (test with the tip of a sharp knife).
  • Drain the potatoes and add the chunks to a large bowl.
  • Mash them with a potato ricer (or masher) bit by bit, and return the mashed potatoes to the warm pot.
  • Place the pot on medium-low heat.
  • Add the butter and mix well until melted.
  • Top with the milk a bit at a time, allowing the potatoes to soak up the liquid.
  • Season to taste and serve.
