Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make mashed potatoes with egg and milk? Prepare your food. Rinse the potatoes well in running water to remove any dirt. You can take an egg of any size, and milk of any fat content. Choose high-quality, natural oil, without vegetable fats.

Step 2

Step 2
Place the peeled potatoes in a saucepan in which you will prepare the puree. If the tubers are large, cut them into 2-3 parts. Pour cold, clean water over the potatoes until they are completely covered. Place the pan on the fire, add salt to taste and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and cook potatoes for 20-25 minutes until tender. The exact time will depend on the type of potato and the size of the pieces.

Step 3

Step 3
Heat the milk until hot. This can be done in any convenient way — on the stove in a ladle or in the microwave. Donʼt skip this step — adding cold milk will cause the puree to turn an unattractive gray color.

Step 4

Step 4
You can check the readiness of the potatoes by piercing them with a knife — they should easily enter the tuber. When the boiled potatoes become soft, drain the hot water and add a little butter. When the potatoes are hot, the butter will begin to melt immediately.

Step 5

Step 5
Mash the potatoes and butter using a potato masher. Then pour in a little milk and remember again.

Step 6

Step 6
The first heat has already come out of the potatoes, so you can add an egg. Be sure to wash your eggs before using them, as even seemingly clean shells can harbor harmful bacteria. It is best to use food grade detergents and a brush. Mash the added egg along with the potatoes.

Step 7

Step 7
Add the remaining milk to the mashed potatoes and mash. The mashed potatoes will absorb the milk. Adjust the consistency of the finished puree by adding milk. For a more fluffy and uniform consistency, you can use a mixer and beat the puree with it. But I donʼt like this method. In my opinion, the whipped puree becomes too gooey and sticky.

Step 8

Step 8
If you like mashed potatoes with a thinner consistency, add a little more milk. The puree is ready. Serve it as a side dish with any meat or fish dishes. Bon appetit!
