Mashed Potato Recipe

Written by Published on Updated on June 2, 2019 in Side Dish

Hiii!!  One day before Thanksgiving and I am sure everyone is getting ready for the big lunch or dinner Thanksgiving celebration.  There is so much to do for that one day from shopping, cooking, baking, getting the table set up. Ufff a lot of work!!!  Unless you decide to eat out with your family hmmm this does sound like a good option. 🙂

I mentioned in a previous post since it is not a holiday in NL, we will celebrate Thanksgiving a bit later this year meaning the weekend. 🙂   I am still trying to find  a Turkey for Saturday but my hopes are slowly vanishing, since there are none in the supermarkets in my area, buuuuttt I haven’t gone to all of them yet, I left one last supermarket for tomorrow, and if I can’t find one there then it’s going to be a Chicken Thanksgiving, which is just as good. 🙂   

I have already written down what it is I want to make and the Mashed Potato recipe is definitely on my To Do list.  I was debating if I should add cheese into the potatoes but I thought best not to because between the Feta Cheese, Brie and a few more cheeses it would just have been a bit too much. 

I still have a bit more shopping to do so I am going to make this post shorter than usual. 🙂  

I just want to wish my family and friends in the states and around the world a wonderful HAPPY THANKSGIVING, and to all my blogger friends HAPPY THANKSGIVING!! be safe and enjoy your day with your family and friends.

MASHED POTATO RECIPE

Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 600 grams Potatoes peeled and boiled
  • 50 grams of Butter melted
  • 150 grams of Milk
  • 150 grams of Heavy Cream
  • Salt

Instructions
 

  • Peel and boil potatoes, add into a pot filled with salted water and boil until soft. Set aside to cool off.
  • In a separate pot add the milk, heavy cream, boil until thickened.
  • Once the potatoes have cooled off, use a Potato Masher, add a bit of melted butter at a time. Once the potatoes have absorbed the butter add in the milk mixture and blend.
  • You could add a few chives to make the taste a bit more dynamic if you wish, or leave it simple like I did and enjoy the delicious taste.

 

Welcome to a small corner of my Greek Heritage. Growing up in New York from Greek parents, was a challenge of its own...but the traditional food, tastes and aromas that my mother cooked always travelled me back to Greece. My mother is a wonderful cook, our house would always have that smell of home cooked food. I remember very clearly that we were only allowed fast food, once a week, that was a huge day for myself and my brother. Jumping up and down in the back car seat, laughing, just being kids. It is true that we all like to eat different foods, taste, smell, even try food that looks different than our regular meals at home and I think that is so natural. In my teens, I was not really into cooking, I enjoyed my magazines after school, listening to music, and just taking a breather. There were times that I would glance at some of my mom's recipes, more out of curiosity than to actually try to cook them. At that time I did not realise that cooking would become my passion one day. Slowly, I would start to look into my mom's recipes a bit more each day and I started to find it interesting as a hobby. Each month I would go into our neighborhood bookstore and pick up my monthly book, until one day I decided to stroll over into the cooking section. That summer was the first time I actually bought a cooking magazine....and I loved it. Cooking and baking started out as a hobby, but now after many years it is my passion. Exploring the cuisines, the spices, the oils, the scents, the variety of smells and tastes that exist. It was and still is an amazing journey without limits. So, come along with me on this adventure, and I hope you enjoy my recipes. Sophie

    Mmm yum, I love mashed potato! I hope you manage to find a turkey (though chicken is just as good in my opinion) and that you have a lovely weekend celebrating Thanksgiving :) Caz xx
