Mashed Potato

THE POTATOE ..... SUCH A HUMBLE VEGGETABLE  Yet  SO FILLING AND SATISFYING.

Members may think WHAT IS SO GREAT  about  MASHED POTATOES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BUT you got to taste this one TO KNOW SO... one of my mothers favourite and passed on to me :) . Thank  you MOM . My family swear by it .

for 4 people you will need around 4 Big potatoes or 8 medium to small ones.

INGREDIENTS :

Potatoes ( 4 big or 8 medium ones)

Milk  1 to 2 tea cups . Depends on the consistency desired.

Salt  / Pepper  to taste

Cheese paste 2 tbsps.  2 tablsps Butter.



Green  Chillies ,  3  chopped small ... (Optional).

METHOD:

BOIL THE POTATOES  TILL THE FORK OR KNIFE SINKS THROUGH. ( THAT WAY YOU USUALLY KNOW THAT IT IS DONE )  SHOULD TAKE AROUND 10 MINUTES IF THE POTATOES ARE NOT FROM THE COLD STORE ....  A LITTLE LONGER IF THEY ARE.

ONCE THE   POTATOES   ARE BOILED ,PEEL AND MASH THEM AT ONCE  AND MIX IN THE CHEESE AND BUTTER

ADD 1 CUP MILK AND MIX WELL . THEN PUT IT ON A LOW   GAS AND KEEP STIRRING TILL ALL THE MILK IS FULLY ABSORBED . IF YOU FIND IT A BIT THICK  ADD IN A LITTLE MORE MILK FROM THE 2ND CUP. BUT DO MAKE SURE YOUR CONSISTENCY DOES NOT BECOME TOO LIQUIDY. IT SHOULD BE A BIT ON THE THICKER  BUT SMOOTHER CONSISTENCY.

CHECK THE TASTE FOR SALT AND ADJUST AS REQUIRED.

POUR OUT  THE MIXTURE INTO A BOWL  SPRINKLE A BIT OF FRESH PEPPER AND FINE CUT CHILLIES.
SERVE HOT EITHER WITH TOASTED BREAD STICKS OR AS  A SIDE DISH WITH ANY NON VEG . DISH .

USUALLY I serve it with  sweet sour dry mutton mince or  sweet sour soya mince. just  the right combo.
and family love it.  

ANOTHER OPTION IS TO SPREAD IT ON YOUR  PIZZA BASE AND ADD ON ANY FILLING OF YOUR CHOICE.

IF LEFT OVER YOU CAN SPREAD IT ON YOUR SANDWICH BREAD AND ADD CUT TOMATOES AND CUCUMBER AND MAKE DELICIOUS SANDWICHES............. JUST USE YOUR IMAGINATION...... THE KIDS WILL LOVE IT.
