    Awesome vid as always.
    For me as an Aussie, I use Nicola potatoes. Boil for about 20min and make sure you skim off the starch (the foam) while cooking, that's the key! Mash with a masher for about 10 seconds. Add butter first and mash that through. Add salt, lots of pepper and when that's mashed through add a small amount of cream. Mash until smooth but still thick. From there you can add cheese, cooked bacon, onion and garlic to make loaded mash or just serve it as is.
    Also it's pronounced "Kie-Bosh" ;)

    For fluffiest possible russets (or any type), don’t mash/rice straight after draining. Instead return them to medium low heat and stir until somewhat drier and they start to become mealy. This serves the dual purpose of reducing their ability to become pasty and also increases their receptiveness to fats and dairy added to them.

    Love that you use a potato ricer. Surprised you didn't examine some different cooking methods. I bake russets when I'm making large batches during holidays. Cut them in half when they come out of the oven, cut side down in the ricer and away we go. The ricer captures the skins, and then fold in butter, cream, and salt - along with whatever else you dig in your potatoes.
    I've also tried an ATK recipe where you steam potato chunks, rinsing starch off a couple times during the process. They were good, but I'm not sure it was worth the work.
    Thanks for the great content.

    My grandma makes her mashed potatoes with any kind of potato (usually russet), heavily salts the water, drains them, adds 8-160oz sour cream and more salt, and uses an electric hand mixer to quickly mash them. You don’t need butter or pepper in my opinion! You do have to be careful not to over mix though, so sometimes I’ll use Yukon golds instead

    Read somewhere that when you boil in water then drain it you are throwing out the potato flavor. So I tried boiling in a cream butter garlic milk mix instead and mashed them in. Tasted great 👍🏼

    You've gotta try making Robuchon pomme puree. The version I learned was Meadowood's take on it and has probably changed a bit as my memory sucks. 2 pounds yukon golds 8oz creme fraiche, 4Tbs olive oil half stick butter, maybe half a cup of cream, rice potatoes, mix with other ingredients, pass through chinoise, pass through Tami, only use a couple tablespoons at a time because it's so rich. Starch doesn't really get overworked and the flavor is insane, double fine straining also makes it insanely silky.

      they're not expensive. it's worth grabbing one for hash alone. you grate the potato, put it in there, and easily squeeze out the water, no need for that 'wringing it out with a towel' shit that destroys your wrists.

    • @gwennorthcutt421
      @gwennorthcutt421 3 роки тому +1

      honestly you don't really need a ricer. just mash the potatoes for about half a minute and you're golden. as long as you're not treating it like dough overmixing generally wont be a problem
