Mashed potatoes add a dash of opulence to the Sunday roast, but are equally enjoyable with British favourites such as toad in the hole and shepherd’s pie. However, if you’re looking for the ultimate creamy mashed potato that doesn’t use a cupboard full of ingredients, a TikTok creator says she has found the solution.
Food content creator Massara shares “easy recipes and pack lunches” on her TikTok page @simplymasarra, where she already has an impressive following.
She claims that her mashed potato recipe promises “the most delicious creamy mash”.
But as an added bonus, these creamy potatoes use just three ingredients, plus salt and pepper for seasoning.
The recipe is also complete in just five steps, so even the most novice of chefs can give it a go at home.
Masarra explained that to begin you need to cube and boil your potatoes in a pan of water with a sprinkling of salt. “They take about 20 minutes,” she advised.
Next, Masarra drains the water from her potatoes and mashes them. Now it’s time to pour in some milk. You can use any type of milk you prefer, though the cook recommends using 150mls. “Don’t worry, ” she added. “This isn’t too much.”
Once your milk is in, combine the milk and potatoes and mash one more time.
Massara then stirs in two tablespoons of olive oil, before seasoning with salt and pepper.
“Then you are done,” she said. “Enjoy.”
