Mashed Potatoes
The shredding disc processes cooked potatoes to
the right texture. Be careful not to overprocess when
you mix them with the other ingredients.
INGREDIENTS
1/4 cup hot milk
2 tablespoons butter, cut into 1-inch pieces
1/2 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Pinch of nutmeg (optional)
3 large potatoes, peeled, boiled
and drained
Put all ingredients except potatoes in work bowl and
insert shredding disc. Place potatoes in large feed
tube and process. Leave in work bowl. Remove
shredding disc and carefully insert metal blade.
Pulse 2 or 3 times, until liquid is absorbed.
Potatoes will become gluey if you overprocess.
Wonderfully light, fluffy mashed potatoes can also
be made with the optional Whisk Attachment
(DLC-855).
Yield 4 servings.
