Ingredients
Step by step process
Preparing Potatoes
- 1
For these creamy mashed potatoes, peel the potatoes with a peeler and cut them into smaller, evenly sized cubes for uniform cooking.
- 2
Place the sliced potatoes into a pot and cover them with cold water so that they are submerged.
- 3
Add a teaspoon of salt and bring to a boil.
Cooking potatoes
- 4
Boil the potatoes over medium heat for 15-18 minutes, until they are completely soft (check with a fork).
- 5
Drain the cooked potatoes through a colander and let them evaporate for 2 minutes to lose excess water.
Preparing the mash
- 6
Transfer the hot potatoes back into the pot and immediately mash them with a potato masher.
- 7
Add the butter and stir until completely melted.
- 8
Gradually pour in the warm milk and whisk until the mash is beautifully smooth and creamy.
- 9
Stir in the grated Parmesan and add freshly ground pepper to taste.
Serving and decorating
- 10
Divide the finished dish while still warm into bowls or onto plates and serve right away, while it is creamy and velvety smooth.
- 11
Garnish with freshly chopped chives and, if you like, drizzle with melted butter. You can also top it with shavings of Parmesan and a pinch of freshly ground pepper for a richer flavor and a more appetizing look.
More tips:
For an extra smooth puree, use a food mill or briefly whip it with a hand mixer. If you want a stronger flavor, add a little garlic or nutmeg.
