Mashed potatoes with egg and milk

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make mashed potatoes with egg and milk? Prepare the products. Wash the potatoes well in running water from contamination. An egg can be taken of any size, and milk of any fat content. Choose high-quality, natural oil, without vegetable fats.

2. Step 2:

   

   Put the peeled potatoes in a saucepan in which you will cook mashed potatoes. If the tubers are large, then cut them into 2-3 parts. Fill the potatoes with cold, clean water so that they are completely covered with it. Put the pan on the fire, add salt to taste and bring to a boil. Turn down the heat and cook the potatoes for 20-25 minutes until tender. The exact time will depend on the potato variety and the size of the pieces.

3. Step 3:

   

   Preheat the milk to a hot state. This can be done in any convenient way — on the stove in a ladle or in the microwave. Do not skip this step — adding cold milk will cause the puree to become an ugly gray color.

4. Step 4:

   

   The readiness of potatoes can be checked by piercing it with a knife — it should easily enter the tuber. When the boiled potatoes become soft, drain the hot water from them and add a little butter. On hot potatoes, the butter will immediately begin to melt.

6. Step 5:

   

   Mash potatoes together with butter with a masher. Then pour in some milk and remember more.

7. Step 6:

   

   The first heat from the potatoes has already managed to come out, so you can add an egg. Be sure to wash the eggs before use, as even the seemingly clean shell may contain harmful bacteria. It is best to use food detergents and a brush. Also mash the added egg together with the potatoes.

8. Step 7:

   

   Pour the remaining milk into the mashed potatoes and knead. Mashed potatoes will absorb milk. Adjust the consistency of the finished puree by adding milk. For a more lush and homogeneous consistency, you can use a mixer and beat the puree with it. But I don't like this way. In my opinion, the whipped puree becomes too sticky and sticky.

9. Step 8:

   

   If you like mashed potatoes of a more liquid consistency, then add a little more milk. The puree is ready. Serve it as a side dish to any meat or fish dishes. Enjoy your meal!
