How to prepare it step by step?
Preparation
- In a large pot of salted water, cook the potatoes until very tender. This should take about 15-20 minutes. Check by piercing with a fork; they should be easily mashable.
- Drain the potatoes and coarsely mash them with at least 30 ml (2 tablespoons) of butter. The butter should melt into the potatoes, creating a smooth base.
- Use an electric mixer to puree the potatoes with the milk. This will give you a creamy, lump-free consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and reserve.
- With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F). This ensures even cooking for the final assembly.
