Mashed Potatoes

      Recipe is created for
      TM 5
      If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
      For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.

Recipe's preparation

    PLEASE READ THE WHOLE RECIPE (INCLUDING NOTES AND TIPS) BEFORE STARTING :)
  1. NO BUTTERFLY OR STEAMER BASKET IS REQUIRED.

     Place chopped potatoes straight into bowl with milk.

     

  2. Cook for 15 minutes, 100 degrees, speed 1.  By this time the potatoes will be soft and mushy.  If they are not cooked enough you will end up with a lumpy mash.  CHECK THE POTATOES ARE COOKED THOROUGHLY AT THIS POINT.  If chopped too big, or not cooked enough, add a bit more cooking time.

     

  3. Add butter and salt and mash for 20-30 seconds MAXIMUM, (meaning, do not mash for longer than 30 seconds), speed 3 until desired consistency is achieved.  DO NOT OVERWHIP as you will end up with a claggy consistency.

     

    NOTE the "mashing time" will depend on the size you dice your potatoes and how well cooked/mushy they are.  I start with 20 seconds, check the consistency, and if still lumpy continue to 30 seconds.

Tip

This is a half quantity for 2-3 people. If you want a larger portion then double it to use 1000g potatoes and 250g milk, and cook for 20-25 minutes.

I use this method with all types of potatoes and have never failed.

For a creamier, more indulgent mash, use half cream, half milk, or all cream instead of milk.

Parmesan cheese and fresh chives can be added for extra flavour.

    Mark Boys: Yes, but Mark, if you decide to cook more than 1500g of spuds, in your TM31 you'll need to do it in batches.

    Today I have halved the recipe and reduced the speed to 1 and the cook time by 20% BUT it still needs the full 15 minutes. It looks lumpy but it isn't.

    Submitted by pkviljoen on 1. January 2023 - 22:19.

    Easy to make. We are dairy free so I made a double batch using 200g coconut cream and 50g water. And i used salt, pepper and corriander to flavour. Absolutely fantastic recipe. For others who have asked, i have a tm5 and used my lid. I mixed mine at sp3.5 because the larger volume didnt seem to be incorporating the top half when 'mashing'. The second batch i made i used 200g of carrot and 800g potato and it was definitely my favourite.

    Submitted by letstryit on 24. July 2022 - 17:10.

    This is my go to recipe for mashed potato.
    I discovered it produces a great result using carrrots instead of potato, plus 5 mins extra cooking. Carrots still have a little texture which is nice, but I'm sure you could process without butterfly at speed 8 and get a lovely purée. And perhaps a little freshly grated nutmeg and a squeeze of lemon juice?!

    Gentle stir setting Stir any cheeses in AFTER step 3 is complete. This way you will always have the consistency you prefer. (if the cheese is being put in during step 3 you may not get the consistancy right) Gentle stir setting

    This is the tastiest, easiest & yummiest mashe potato you can make. I've also added sweet potato sometimes. I usually make more as we all enjoy it. Just add a little more milk. I use a mix of cream & milk. I add chopped parsley at the end. It is definitely "no fail".Smile

    This has been my go-to recipe any time I make mash for ages now! It’s so easy to chuck in and let it go while you prepare the other dishes and it turns out so beautifully. The texture is the best I have ever made, almost like a pub mash and is so rich and yummy! I’ve also done it with sweet potato or substituted some of the potato with sweet potato and it’s been perfect too.

    Absolutely beautiful mashed potato!! I hate all the Cookidoo mashed potato recipes. I use to love it until they changed the recipe. However this one will be my newest favourite. Thank you so very much! I did 1 tsp of salt for 1kg potato's and I had 90g of cream so used that as part of the 250g milk part as suggested by yourself. Thanks for a fabulous recipe!! Hopefully yours will end up on Cookidoo 😉
