Ingredients for Creamy Mashed Potatoes:
– 2 medium potatoes
– A pinch of salt
– Milk or cream, as needed
– Black pepper, a small amount
– Starch, as needed
– Oyster sauce, 1-2 tablespoons
Instructions for Creamy Mashed Potatoes:
Step 1: Peel and slice two medium potatoes, then steam them for 15 minutes over high heat. Let them sit for an additional 3 minutes before removing.
Step 2: Mash the potatoes into a paste, then mix in milk or cream and salt until well combined. Using milk or cream enhances the richness and creamy flavor; for a stronger dairy taste, opt for cream. Lightly grease a small bowl with oil, preferably melted butter, to prevent the mashed potatoes from sticking.
Step 3: Prepare the sauce by combining oyster sauce, starch, and pepper in a small bowl with an appropriate amount of water, stirring until smooth.
Step 4: Pour the mixture into a small pot and heat over low flame, simmering until it thickens into a dense sauce.
Step 5: Invert the mashed potatoes from the bowl onto a plate, then drizzle the thickened sauce over the top.
Step 6: The savory and creamy mashed potatoes are now ready. Children particularly enjoy this dish, offering a homemade alternative to expensive fast-food options.
Step 7: Serve hot for the best flavor. Optionally, sprinkle with rosemary or basil to adjust the taste according to personal preference.
