Riced mashed potatoes

Yield: 6 servings

Measure Ingredient
6 mediums Potatoes - peeled & cut into chunks
½ cup To 3/4 cup 2% milk -- scalded
\N \N Salt -- to taste*
½ \N Stick unsalted butter -- browned **

* Original recipe calls for ½ t salt. ** Original recipe did not specify the amount of butter

Cook potatoes until very soft in small amount of water. Drain. Pour ½ cup milk and salt into the saucepan with the potatoes. With manual potato ricer, immediately mash the potatoes by hand. Add additional milk if they seem too stiff. Stop mashing at whichever stage you prefer - when the potatoes have been formed into noodlelike strands or when they are as smooth as an electric mixer's end result.

(The Amish, because they do not have electricity in their home, always mash their potatoes by hand.) Co ver with brown butter.

BROWN BUTTER: Melt desired amount of butter in saucepan. Allow it to brown, being careful not to let it burn. Pour over or mash into potatoes.
