The REAL
original recipe for mashed
potatoes called for young virgins to dance
naked in a large vat of steamed potatoes as
warm, freshly drawn milk was poured over
their bodies. Well, that’s not really true, but
it proves a point: even mashed potatoes can
be sexy if you put your mind to it.
2 to 3 Idaho potatoes
1 inch of butter
1/4 cup of heavy cream
salt and freshly ground white peppercorns
Peel the potatoes and plunk
them whole in
already boiling water. Boil for 20-25 minutes
or until they are tender the whole way
through.
Put the drained potatoes in
a mixing bowl
and add the butter, salt and pepper. Mash a
bit in order to melt the butter. Then add the
cream bit by bit while mashing until they are
an acceptable consistency.
Serves 2 people who have no
regrets.
