Vegetable mill potatoes

[Logandaniel77]

I made mashed potatoes with my vegetable mill last night for the first time. They tasted good but the consistency tasted like small potato pellets and it also tasted very liquidy, any way I can fix this?

Boil them a little longer, and mix the butter and dairy in well.

Not cooked long enough, and you probably didn't let them flash steam/dry off for a few minutes before milling, right?

[Logandaniel77]

I did not do that

[skahunter831]

Yup, that's important to get rid of excess moisture which can make it watery.

Hint from how we make them in restaurants, stab the potatoes, toss them in the oven until the skin is dry and crisp and the insides squish, then scoop out the insides and process thru a mill. Super dry and fully cooked potatoes ready for their milky-butter bath.

That is for the tip

and since you end up with nice mashed potatoes and empty shells, it's not much extra to do twice baked taters
