Recipe ingredient

Instructions

  1. Start by washing the potatoes and placing them in a large pot with plenty of salted water. Cook them for 20-30 minutes, depending on their size.

    Recipe step
  2. After the first 20 minutes, insert a fork into one of the potatoes to check if it is cooked, then turn off the heat or let them cook for a few more minutes.

    Recipe step
  3. Peel them while they are still hot because this makes the process easier. Place them in a pot and then mash them well with the help of a potato masher.

    Recipe step
  4. Add the butter and warm milk, starting with 200 ml, and continue mashing the potatoes. Since they will still be warm, the butter will melt immediately. Keep the pot over medium-low heat while carrying out these steps. If you want a softer mash, pour in the rest of the milk or a little more if you prefer it looser.

  5. Sprinkle in the pepper, salt, and nutmeg, then mix.
