Chefs Tips
Cut the peeled potatoes into equal sizes. Maintaining consistency in the potato sizes is key here. If you have different sizes of potatoes you will end up with over cooked and under cooked pieces of potato—this will be a problem later in the recipe.
Always start your potatoes in cold water. The Cold water allows the potatoes to cook evenly, if you start with boiling water the potatoes will cook on the outside faster that the inside leaving you with over cooked on the outside and under cooked on the inside.
Using hot milk and butter will help the liquid absorb quicker into the potato helping to limit the starches being released into the puree, the more you mash or whip the more starch is released and the mashed potatoes can become gummy.
Ricing the potatoes is secret to perfect mashed potatoes. Ricing the potatoes is a fast way to create a smooth, creamy and airy potato puree.
