Servings 4
Ingredients
- 750 grams potatoes about 3 medium - large ones
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 tablespoon of butter
- 2 tablespoons of cream cheese
- salt & pepper to taste
- Grated cheese, to serve (optional)
Instructions
- Pressure cook the potatoes with their skins on (unpeeled) for 5-6 whistles. When the cooker cools down to room temperature remove the potatoes. Once they have cooled, peel them and mash well using a potato masher or fork.
- Heat milk in a heavy based kadai/wok and add the mashed potatoes and mix well. Add the salt, cream cheese, butter and mix some more
- Season with pepper if desired and serve hot as a side.
Notes
To make the potatoes less soggy, instead of placing them directly in a pressure cooker you can place them in a small pan that fits comfortably inside the cooker. Place this pan on a cooker stand and pressure cook as usual. This technique will prevent the potatoes from absorbing excess water in case you get delayed to open the cooker.
