List of Ingredients
6 (11 ounce ea) potatoes
6 tablespoons butter
2 1/2-3 cups milk as needed
salt and white pepper to taste
paprika, for garnish
Recipe
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Meanwhile,
peel potatoes and quarter or halve them depending on size.
Drop potatoes into the pot as they are peeled, even if
water is not quite boiling yet. Cook potatoes over high
heat until fork tender, about 25 minutes after water comes
to a boil. Some pieces can be left a little underdone.
Drain well. Place potatoes and butter in a large bowl.
Using a potato masher or fork, coarsely mash them
together. Make a well in the center and pour in a small
amount of milk. With an electric mixer, not a blender
or food processor, which will turn potatoes into a
starchy goo, beat potatoes, adding more milk a little
at a time as needed, until the desired texture is
obtained. Tasting carefully, add salt and pepper. At
this point, potatoes can be set aside, uncovered,
until the rest of dinner is nearly ready. one half hour
before serving time, preheat oven to 350F. Mound
potatoes in an oven proof casserole, sprinkle with
paprika, and bake uncovered for 20 minutes.
