Ingredients
- 2 lb. (900 g) purple potatoes , peeled and cut into chunks
- salt , to taste
- 1 cup (250 ml) whole milk
- a pinch of ground nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons (30 g) butter
- fresh chives for garnish (optional)
- freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Place the purple potatoes into a pot filled with lightly salted water (enough to cover potatoes by an inch or two), bring to a boil, and cook, covered, for 20-25 minutes or until fork-tender.
- Meanwhile, heat the milk in a saucepan over low heat until hot (he milk should not boil). Season the milk with salt and a pinch of ground nutmeg. Add the butter to the milk and melt it. Remove from the heat.
- When the potatoes are cooked, drain them and return to the hot pot (this will help to dry them out). Begin to mash the potatoes with a potato masher, adding the milk mixture gradually until the desired consistency is reached. Season the puree with salt, if necessary.
- Place mashed potatoes in a serving bowl and garnish with fresh chives and some freshly ground black pepper on top.
