Time 1h5m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 pounds/1 kg floury potatoes, scrubbed
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 clove garlic, peeled
1 bay leaf
1 sprig fresh thyme
About 1 cup/250 ml milk
1/2 cup/110 g butter, cold

Steps:

  • Put the potatoes, whole, in a pot and cover with cold water. Salt the water. Bring to a boil, and simmer until very tender, about 30 minutes, depending on size.
  • Meanwhile, drop the garlic, bay leaf, and thyme in a saucepan with the milk, bring to a boil, turn off the heat, cover, and set aside to infuse 10 minutes. Pull out the garlic and herbs, and discard.
  • When the potatoes are done, drain them and peel while hot. Put them through a food mill set on the smallest setting over a large pot. Beat in the butter a piece at a time. Bring the milk to a boil and beat it in, splash by splash, until completely absorbed. You are looking for a very soft, fine puree, not unlike baby food! Check the seasonings, and serve.

This puree is also great for making ahead of time. I like to make it the day before and then reheat it when I am ready to serve.

This puree is a great way to use up leftover potatoes. I always have a few potatoes left over after I make mashed potatoes, and this is a great way to use them up.
