Mashed Potatoes

This recipe for dairy-free mashed potatoes offers a luxurious alternative to the traditional butter-laden side dish. By using schmaltz—rendered chicken or goose fat—the potatoes take on a deep, savoury depth of flavour that pairs beautifully with a Sunday roast or grilled meats. Selecting a floury potato variety like Yukon Gold or King Edward ensures a fluffy, light texture that absorbs the golden fat perfectly without the need for cream or milk.

A celebratory side dish that is naturally lactose-free, these potatoes are refined through a simple steam-drying process to prevent any wateriness. For the best results, using a potato ricer will guarantee a velvet-smooth consistency, though a sturdy masher and a little effort work just as well. Serve these piping hot alongside seasonal vegetables for a comforting, homemade meal.

Ingredients for Mashed Potatoes

  • Potatoes (any kind are good

  • we like Yukon gold)

  • 1 cucharadita de sal

  • Schmaltz (3 tablespoons per pound of potatoes)

  • Sal y pimienta al gusto

How to make Mashed Potatoes

Peel potatoes, and cut them into 2- inch pieces. Place them in a bowl covered with cold water, and soak for 10 minutes to remove starchiness; drain.

Fill a large stockpot about three-quarters full with water, and bring to a boil. Add potatoes and 1 teaspoon salt; cook until tender (about 18 minutes). Drain thoroughly in a colander. To further remove moisture (no one wants watery mashed potatoes), return potatoes to the pot on medium to high heat for a minute or two, turning them constantly so they don't burn.

For the smoothest results, put them through a ricer. If you don't have one, apply a lot of elbow grease to a potato masher. Do not mash them in a food processor or blender; it ruins the fluffy texture. Add 45ml schmaltz per pound of potatoes, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
