Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make puree with a blender? Prepare the necessary ingredients. Wash the potatoes from dirt, peel them and rinse in running water.

Step 2

Step 2
Cut large tubers into 2-4 parts, small ones can be left whole. Place the peeled potatoes in the pan in which they will be cooked. Fill the potatoes with water until they are completely submerged. Place the pan on the fire and bring to a boil. Cook the potatoes in boiling water over medium heat for 25-30 minutes. Add a little salt to taste.

Step 3

Step 3
You can check the doneness of the potatoes using a knife or fork by simply piercing them. The finished potatoes will be soft. Drain the hot water from the finished potatoes and add butter to it. It will immediately begin to melt on the hot potatoes.

Step 4

Step 4
In a separate ladle, heat the milk until hot. You donʼt need to add a lot of milk to the mashed potatoes, otherwise the mashed potatoes will look like potato cream. And if there is very little milk, then the blender blades may not be able to cope with the grinding.

Step 5

Step 5
First, mash the potatoes with a potato masher. Then pour in hot milk and mash a little more. Next, to obtain a smooth puree, use an immersion blender.

Step 6

Step 6
Start grinding the puree at minimum speed. It is best to do this in a pulsating mode so that you can visually control the degree of grinding. As soon as the mass reaches a homogeneous consistency, finish the process so that the mass does not become sticky. I do not recommend using a stationary blender for this purpose. Since with such active whipping the puree will turn into a paste. And the presence of starch in potatoes will be to blame.

Step 7

Step 7
The finished puree will be an excellent side dish for any meat or fish dishes. Grinded with a blender, it is homogeneous and very tender, so it can be used to feed small children. Bon appetit!
