SIDES

MASHED POTATOES
The shredding disc processes cooked potatoes
to the right texture. Be careful not to
overprocess when you mix them
with the other ingredients.
Makes 4 servings
1 ⁄ cup hot milk
4
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into
1-inch pieces
3 large potatoes, peeled, boiled
and drained
1 ⁄ teaspoon salt
2
freshly ground black pepper
pinch of nutmeg (optional)
Put all ingredients except potatoes in work bowl
and insert shredding disc. Place potatoes in
large feed tube and process. Leave in work
bowl. Remove shredding disc and carefully
insert metal blade. Pulse 2 or 3 times, until
liquid is absorbed. Potatoes will become gluey
if you overprocess.
Wonderfully light, fluffy mashed potatoes
can also be made with the optional Whisk
Attachment (DLC-855).
