Have anyone of you all make before mash potatoes?

I followed online recipe, except to put cream part cause I don't have. It taste just like normal potato with buttery taste. Is it suppose to be like that? And also, how to make it "nua-nua". Got use machine? I manual use fork and knife to chop and press. . .

FireIce SG

got blender?

Get those US potato good for cooking mashed potato. Turn soft fast while cooking compare to other potato type, whiter than the common potato we see often. oh, think it is russet or something like that.

I am also trying to find out how to prepare the gravy for mashed potato. I know pepper is one of the ingredients. Will try my own recipe - pepper, oyster sauce, light source, prepare a little starchy base.

There is gadget for making mashed potato.

Wah hasene, if put oyster sauce, will it become very chinese cuisine taste? I now trying to work out my own mushroom and bacon sauce. US potato uh. Okay, I will try to shop for it later. lol. I usually don't take note of where my potato come from.

FireIce, if use blender, the texture of the mash potato would be different. Too nua and slimy I don't like. I prefer rough texture. Just that doing it manually seems abit stupid to me.

Yes, that is exactly how it will taste, buttery, and soft. It is imperative you choose the right potatoes for mashing, coz different types will give different taste and textures. Like sometimes Jack's place just anyhow use potatoes for their baked ones on steak dishes, and their quality just dont remain consistent. Sometimes its too soft, sometimes too hard, sometimes it tastes like that, other times it tastes like this.

Can use normal HL milk? Everytime when recipe say put milk, I don't what sort of milk they referring to ._.

Share share ni!

HL milk has vanilla flavouring in it so just use a normal one like Masters or Magnolia

Basically mash the potato with milk and butter over a low flame with a potato masher for best results

You can get a really smooth and creamy mashed potato with the russet Burbank and these items.

No need to blend at all

My overseas friend told me that there are ready made gravy for mashed potato available in the west. Unfortunately, I could not find it in Singapore. However, this friend recommended milk for preparation, use fork to mash the potato.

-_-" It's also readily available here.

Just open your eyes at the supermarket and you will see it.

So many different brands too

sbst275 SG

I suggest use Farmhouse or Masters... Magnolia too creamy le

Phantomnite SG

I think I will try using the silver packaging cream. Can't remember the brand ._.

I also scared the ready made sauce here one hor would be too salty. I prefer slightly bland bland one. hehehe.

u can try maggie liquid chicken stock + black pepper .. the sauce taste quite similar to KFC whipped potato sauce Mr. Green beware the stock is concentrated so quite salty dont use too much

Add spring onions, bacon and shredded cabbage to make colcannon, and it becomes a meal by itself.

Good suggestion. I was actually trying hard on how to get the recipe of the gravy for KFC mashed potato.

in this case, we could also substitute the liquid chicken stock with the powdered one.

Phantomnite SG

haha. I not trying to imitate KFC mash cos I think its quite yucky. I always change their coleslaw and mash to 2 small fries. rofl.

Anyway, today I tried to cook the gravy using mushroom and bacon. Its quite salty which I think is because of the bacon. Plus I added salt to season the mushroom. Need more adjustments. Would like to try chicken sauce one day!

I used the cream cheese. Philan. . . Don't know what lol. Not bad! =D

Will try magnolia next round!

It's there. You just have to ask. You'll find it among all the other powdered sauce preparations by McCormick and other brands.
