Whipped Potatoes / Mashed Potatoes

Some may wonder why their whipped potatoes don’t taste as good as those served in restaurants.  The secret is simply butter and milk.

Ingredients (Serve 2)

1. 4 potatoes
2. 1 table spoon salted butter
3. ¼ – ½ cup milk

Method

1. Peel potato and remove the eyes.  Cut into chucks, steam for 30 mins until soft.
2. While it is still hot, put the potatoes in a pot or big bowl, add in butter and mash it thoroughly by pressing down with a potato masher.  Add in milk, ¼ cup first, and start mashing the potato till smooth, adding more milk a little at a time until the required soft and smooth texture.
3. Served warm with melted cheese (you can just put the cheese above the whipped potato while still warm and leave it for a while)

In case some have not used a pototo masher, here is a photo of it, there are other variations.
