How do you make mashed potatoes?

I love homemade mashed potatoes... all my life.... mmmhhh

Just peeling potatoes and then put them in steamer with little water until they are tender... sprinkle salt and pepper, butter and milk and mash them...

I compared the taste between boiled potatoes with salt water and steamer... Use steamer is taste better than full boiled salt water.

Potatoes in steamer? That's new to me but makes sense to me. Boiling in water does loose some flavor, but steamer keeps flavor in. Will try that!! Thanks Liebling!

My husband is a chef, he always use whipped cream (half and half) He used them a lil... add butter, kosher salt and pepper. Ohhh it was thick and delicious.

But I usually add cream cheese in it, a lil milk, maybe a big spoonful of sour cream, kosher salt and pepper, its pretty thick and YUMMY!!!!

my secert mash pototoes homemade is peel the pototoes skins off, cuts four pieces pototoes then pototoes put boiling the water with the pan and take about 1/2 to one hours... test if the pototes are tender or softs... i use a evoported milk 1/2 cups and chicken broths 1/2 .... sometime it is not enought mash pototoes and just add a little more evoported milk and chicken broths then put a half cream cheese until the cream cheese melts... I can t use a peper or salt... if you want to add a pepper or salt... then chop green onions and sprinkle any kinds of cheese... until little melt cheese ... then put in oven for about 20 mintues. make sure watch a little brown on top ... then ready to eat..... My ma fell in loves with my homemade mash pototoes and she learned this from me!! then all of my familys started to really loves my secert mash pototoes....

Steamer potatoes for 1 hour? :confused: Can you show me which steamer you use?

I use schnelltopf - Google Bilder . It´s fast and save energy. For only 5 to 10 minutes steam until the red ring shown then turn electricity or gas off and leave until red ring go down... then open the steamer...
 
I have one...we called it presser cooker. I didn't use that last night duh me! I should have :giggle:

Thank you for correction... It´s presser cooker, not Steamer... :kiss: I forget English word is... I am sure it could be "Steamer" until you fresh my memory... yes.. .that´s presser cooker... :giggle:

I use presser cooker for peeling or unpeeling potatoes, vegetable, bread dumpling, gulasch, etc. I love it...

You should try it. I bet you will say that taste is better to use presser cooker as mashed potatoes.

It´s not hard. Use little water and put peeling potatoes on the net and lock... until 2 red ring come then turn electricity or gas off and leave until red ring go down... and then rid of potatoes liquid for gravy... and mashed potatoes with butter, milk, salt and pepper.

Good luck... :thumb:

Or you can type "Steamer pots" under google.. you'll find this and understand what am I using...

Put water the first pots... addy another pots has holes.. put on the top of it.. Let water boil... itself steam goes into the potatoes...close lid kept within 1 hour... Depends size of potatoes.. I use meduim potatoes size.. If it's large might be more longer than 1 hour..
:D
