Elevate your mashed potato game with the luxurious Paris mash, a staple in French cuisine known for its silky texture and rich buttery flavor. Unlike traditional mashed potatoes, Paris mash incorporates generous amounts of butter and milk to achieve a smooth and creamy consistency that’s simply irresistible. Let’s dive in.
Ingredients
- 3 large potatoes (about 2 pounds)
- Fine sea salt
- 1/2 cup of milk
- 1 cup butter
- Optional – extra butter or parsley to serve
Instructions
- Boil the potatoes in their skins until done. While they’re still hot, peel the potatoes.
- After peeling, pass the potatoes through a ricer and then through a drum sieve into a saucepan for a smooth texture.
- With a wooden spoon, stir the mashed potatoes over low heat until all the moisture has evaporated.
- Add ½ cup of butter to the mashed potatoes and stir until the butter is fully incorporated. Add half of the milk and continue to stir.
- Repeat this process with the remaining butter and milk until all ingredients are well combined and the mash is light and creamy.
- For an extra touch of indulgence, serve with add a knob of butter on top. Sprinkle with fresh parsley for a pop of color and flavor if desired.
