APPLESAUCE MASHED POTATOES RECIPE



Applesauce Mashed Potatoes Recipe image

Provided by Tonya_Speed

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 lbs russet or yukon gold potatoes, whole
1/2-1 stick butter
1 cup hot milk
Salt & Pepper
applesauce
freshly grated nutmeg

Steps:

  • Cover potatoes with cold salted water; simmer 45 minutes. Drain, peel and mash with butter. Add milk, and salt & pepper to taste; mash until smooth and fluffy. Top with applesauce and sprinkle with grated nutmeg.

Tips for the Best Applesauce Mashed Potatoes:

  • Choose the Right Potatoes: Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes are ideal for mashed potatoes, as they have a fluffy texture and hold their shape well.
  • Boil Potatoes Properly: Ensure the potatoes are fully submerged in boiling water and cook until tender when pierced with a fork, usually around 15-20 minutes.
  • Mash Potatoes Thoroughly: Use a potato masher or ricer to achieve a smooth and lump-free consistency. Avoid over-mashing, as this can make the potatoes gluey.
  • Add Butter and Milk Gradually: Start with a small amount of butter and milk and gradually add more until you reach your desired consistency. This helps prevent the potatoes from becoming too thin or runny.
  • Season Generously: Don't be shy with the salt and pepper. Season the mashed potatoes to taste, as bland potatoes can be quite dull.
  • Incorporate Applesauce: Fold in the applesauce gently to maintain the fluffy texture of the potatoes. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
  • Garnish Before Serving: Before serving, consider garnishing the mashed potatoes with fresh herbs like chives, parsley, or dill. This adds a pop of color and freshness to the dish.
