Pomme Puree
Ingredients
- 2 lb. Yukon potatoes
- Kosher salt, to taste
- White pepper, a pinch
- 2 cups milk
- 1 lb. unsalted butter, cubed and chilled
Instructions
- Boil potatoes, skin on, in salted water until tender.
- Bring milk to a boil in a 1-qt. saucepan; remove from heat, set aside.
- Drain potatoes.
- Peel warm potatoes, with a butter knife, using a kitchen towel, and pass them through a food mill into a 4-qt. saucepan set over medium-low heat. Using a rubber spatula, turn potatoes frequently until they take on a drier, fluffier consistency, 2–3 minutes. Reduce heat to low. Working in batches, vigorously stir in the butter until mixture is creamy. Whisk in warmed milk, season potatoes with salt and white pepper, and transfer them to a warm serving bowl.
