Mashed Potatoes- The Rich and The Light
Been a long time! First Ramadan, then moving to another city and atlast traveling to Pakistan for my brother's wedding. Damn I miss the food in Lahore *yum yum*
Well so the story goes back to a lazy afternoon and I was craving for creamy yet crumby mashed potatoes. Who am I kidding! Almost everyone knows how to make mashed potatoes but still I will go with the recipe because I want to :p
Ingredients:
2 -Small Potatoes (Ofcourse)
1 1/2 Tbsp - Butter/ 1tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
Black Pepper
Oregano
Milk/Fresh Cream
Salt
I have two versions of mashed potatoes: The Rich and The Light (for foodies on diet).
1- Peel and boil potatoes. You can also boil them without peeling. Check if they are completely done, by poking a knife in it. If the knife goes in and comes out without any tiny hassle. Potatoes are done!
2- Now peel them and cut them in small rough pieces. Do this in a steel bowl preferably.
3- For the rich : Put in the butter and start mashing it with the fork.
For the light: Put in the olive oil in small quantities and keep mashing.
4- Add salt and pepper according to your taste.
5- For the rich: Add about 2 tablespoon or less of cream.
For the light: Start adding milk a teaspoon at a time.
Once, you like the texture and the cream-iness in your mashed potatoes stop adding milk or cream. You can vary it according to your taste or cravings. I usually sprinkle some oregano or parsley on it.
You can also melt some cheese for the topping.
Serve it as a side dish with your grilled chicken or steak and enjoy !!!
