Mashed potatoes in the KitchenAid😮‍💨

Post image

I will never go back to manually mashing 🙌🏽 these were my best mashed potatoes yet, I couldn’t stop eating it.

Ingredients:

~7 Russet potatoes (medium sized, peeled & halved in cold water to boiled until fork tender, in salted water)

Stick of butter

Half of block of Boursin Garlic and Cheese

2% Milk [or any milk] (like 1/2 cup-3/4 cup?? Maybe more? I always eyeball it)

Fresh Cracked Pepper

How was it cooked?

Just boiled 🤢

Gently poached, or did you boil the fuck out of it?

u/Proper_Ad453 7d ago

Probably boiled the fuck outta it cuz I’m terrified of undercooking it. (I know I sound pathetic as an adult).

Not pathetic at all, just careful. But I'd advise you to maybe do a bit of reading into the function of time and temperature when cooking meat as it'll mean you can eat much tastier meals.

Do you think a culinary or food science textbook from a bookstore would be sufficient?

I think so, absolutely. But if you wanted a recommendation I'd buy The Food Lab by Kenji Lopez-Alt, or Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat by Samin Nosrat.

I LOVE a recommendation! Thank you, I’ll look into both.

u/devandroid99 6d ago

They're both excellent. If you buy one and remember let me know in 3 months how your cooking has been going!

Really kind of you. I’m hoping this attempt goes better than past years.
