Earthy Mashed Potatoes

This recipe for earthy mashed potatoes offers a refined take on a classic vegetarian side dish. By baking the potatoes in their skins rather than boiling them, you preserve their natural starch and develop a deeper, more concentrated flavour. The result is a beautifully fluffy texture that provides the perfect base for your favourite Sunday roast or a hearty vegetarian stew.

Using a potato ricer is the secret to achieving a professional, lump-free finish without the gluey consistency that often comes from over-mashing. Prepared with creamy whole milk and unsalted butter, this mash is both comforting and sophisticated. It is an excellent source of vitamin C and potassium, making it a wholesome addition to any family meal or festive dinner party.

Ingredients for Earthy Mashed Potatoes

  • 900g large potatoes (any kind)

  • 240ml whole milk

  • 1/2 stick (60ml ) unsalted butter

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1/4 teaspoons white pepper

  • a potato ricer

How to make Earthy Mashed Potatoes

Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 218°C.

Wrap each potato in foil, then prick potatoes through foil several times with a fork. Bake potatoes until tender, 1 to 1 1/4 hours.

Heat milk, butter, salt, and white pepper in a 3-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat until butter is melted.

While milk mixture heats, unwrap baked potatoes and, while still hot (use a kitchen towel to protect your hands or hold potatoes with tongs), pull off skin with a paring knife or halve unpeeled potatoes and scoop out flesh with a spoon, transferring it to a bowl. Discard skin.

Force hot potatoes through ricer into hot milk mixture in pan and gently stir with a large heatproof rubber spatula just until combined.
