Tres Leches Mashed Potatoes
A creamy and delicious mashed potato recipe infused with three kinds of milk for extra richness.
Ingredients
- russet potatoes (5 pounds)
- kosher salt (2 tablespoons)
- evaporated milk (0.5 cup)
- milk (0.5 cup)
- buttermilk (0.25 cup)
- unsalted butter (0.5 cup)
- white pepper (0.5 teaspoon)
- cayenne pepper (1 pinch)
- chives (1 tablespoon)
Instructions
- Peel and quarter potatoes, and transfer to a 6-quart pot. Add enough water to cover by 2 inches, and add 2 tablespoons kosher salt.
- Bring to a boil on high heat, stir once, and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer gently, until potatoes are completely tender, but not falling apart, 30 to 40 minutes.
- When potatoes are almost done, add evaporated milk, milk, and buttermilk to a saucepan, and place over low heat. Drain potatoes very well and add to a large bowl, or back into the pot.
- Use a masher to mash potatoes smooth. Add butter; mash again until butter disappears. Add 1 teaspoon salt, white pepper, cayenne, and hot milk mixture.
- Use a whisk or electric hand mixer on high speed to whip potatoes until light and fluffy. Taste for seasoning, garnish with melted butter and chives, and serve immediately.
