POTATISMOS (SWEDISH MASHED POTATOES)



Potatismos (Swedish Mashed Potatoes) image

The Swedish mashed potatoes took a bit of getting used to for me. I love nutmeg in my apple pies and other sweets, but it's not a flavor I expect in my mashed potatoes. Of course I always ate them the way my first husband's Norwegian gramma made them, but when I make them myself I use just enough to add a hint of flavor. After all, without the nutmeg they're just plain mashed potatoes. ;)

Tips for Perfect Swedish Mashed Potatoes:

  • Use fresh, high-quality potatoes: Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes are ideal for mashed potatoes because they have a high starch content, which makes them creamy and smooth.
  • Peel and cut the potatoes evenly: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Boil the potatoes in salted water: The salt will help to flavor the potatoes and prevent them from becoming bland.
  • Drain the potatoes thoroughly: This will help to prevent the mashed potatoes from becoming watery.
  • Mash the potatoes with a potato masher or ricer: A potato masher will give you a more rustic texture, while a ricer will give you a smoother texture.
  • Add warm milk and butter: This will help to make the mashed potatoes creamy and smooth.
  • Season the mashed potatoes to taste: Salt, pepper, and nutmeg are classic seasonings for mashed potatoes, but you can also add other herbs and spices to taste.

Conclusion:

Swedish mashed potatoes are a delicious and versatile side dish that can be served with a variety of main courses. They are easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. Whether you like them creamy and smooth or rustic and chunky, Swedish mashed potatoes are sure to be a hit at your next meal.
