Purê de batatas

Ingredientes

• 4 pounds potatoes (Yukon Gold or Russet )
• 6 tablespoon butter (unsalted, at room temperature)
• 1 cup milk (or cream)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper (black or white)

Modo de preparo

1. 1

   Peel and cut the potatoes in equal size pieces so that they all cook at the same time. Place the potatoes into a large pot and fill with cold water. Make sure there is enough water to fully cover the potatoes. Add about 1 teaspoon of salt to the water and stir.

2. 2

   Cook uncovered about 15 to 20 minutes or until the potatoes are fork tender.

3. 3

   Heat the milk on the stove top or in the microwave until warm, but not boiling hot.

4. 4

   Drain the potatoes and transfer them to a bowl. Add the butter and begin mashing using a potato masher. Pour in the milk and continue mashing until you reach the desired consistency.

5. 5

   Season with salt and pepper and serve while warm.
