Purê de batatas de casca vermelha

Ingredientes

• 10 red skinned potatoes (medium size)
• 8 tbsp butter
• 1 cups milk (warmed, plus additional as needed)
• 1 tsp kosher salt
• 1/4 tsp pepper

Modo de preparo

1. 1

   Cut potatoes into equal pieces. Add to pot filled with water. Swish around to release any dirt and excess starch. Drain potatoes in colander and rinse with fresh water. Add potatoes and fresh water back to pot.

2. 2

   Bring potatoes to a gentle boil over medium high to high heat. Depending on the size of your potatoes, they may take 10-25 minutes to cook through after they come to a boil. Once they look done check for tenderness. The best way to know if they are done is to pull one out and smash with a fork. Then taste it and see if it has any lumps. If so continue to boil until evenly tender.

3. 3

   Pour potatoes into a colander. Shake vigorously, removing as much water as possible. Add potatoes back to hot pot. Top with butter, salt, and pepper. Allow potatoes to sit uncovered for 5 minutes.

4. 4

   Using hand held beaters that have not been turned on, manually mash the potatoes, mixing in the butter and seasonings. Taste mixture to see if it is well seasoned. If not adjust according to taste.

5. 5

   Turn beaters on and mix until potatoes are mostly mashed and only small chunks of potatoes remain. Pour in one cup of warm milk. Whip, adding more milk until desired consistency is reached.
