Mashed potatoes in a blender

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

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.

2. STEP 2

   

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

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.

4. STEP 4

   

   In a separate ladle, heat the milk until hot. You don’t need to add a lot of milk to the puree, otherwise the puree will become like potato cream. And if there is very little milk, the blender blades may not be able to cope with the grinding.

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 homogeneous puree, use an immersion blender.

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 becomes of a homogeneous consistency, end 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.

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!

I was preparing mashed potatoes for a side dish, thinking about another way to prepare it and found this recipe, which suggests using a blender. I usually chop potatoes with a simple potato masher; I got it from my grandmother. I also tried it with a blender, but it always turned out to be a “paste”. The recipe says that you should beat the puree briefly and on a pulsating mode. That’s what I did, first mashed it with a masher, and then with a blender. I liked the consistency; the puree was smooth and tender, but not rubbery. I always add hot milk and butter too. With them, the puree becomes creamy, tasty, and airy. Both my daughter and I really liked this puree. Now I will cook it this way too. Thank you.

Cool recipe! Thanks to whipping with a blender, the most delicate airy texture was obtained! If you first crush everything with a masher with holes, and then beat with a whisk at maximum speed for about a minute, it turns out simply delicious!!!! The puree turned out to be very light, weightless, this is the only way to cook it!
