I am not a big fan of mashed potatoes BUT this homemade recipe is awesome! It came out perfect! The texture was smooth yet rich. The flavourful Basil pesto topping also added a hint of colour to the usual mash!
What you need:-
- 6-7 baby potatoes
- 1 medium potatoe
- Half a cup of warm milk (microwaved)
- 20g melted butter
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Readily-made Basil pesto (or other preferred flavour) from supermarket
How:-
- Add water until potatoes are covered. Add 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Bring to boil, reduce heat and simmer, covered, 15-20 minutes.
- Drain water from potatoes. Pour cooked potatoes back to pot and cook for 2 minutes to ensure no excess water.
- Remove potates into a bowl. Add milk and melted butter. Use a potato masher or hand-held blender to mash potatoes until it’s fluffy or creamy. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Before serving, garnish with a teaspoon of Basil pesto.
PS: It’s a yummy comfort food for post- wisdom tooth surgery. This recipe was inspired by M who had just gone through a dental surgery and 2 teeth less wiser :)
