In the Philippine culture, mashed potato is one of the foods that is not so common being served in the dining table. Potatoes were first known in Europe during 16th century (lovin' history, ayt?). Until due to the dramatic changes brought by globalization, Filipinos learned to cook and serve foreign dishes.
We can usually eat mashed potatoes in hotels and restaurants before. Until fast food chains are also starting to include this on their menus. So for those who are curious and haven't tried eating mashed potatoes or those who loved this dish, then here's my blog to help you in making your own one.
Ingredients:
1 big potato (Good for 1 person)
Cups of water
1 pinch of salt
1/4 cup of cream
4 tsp. of honey (or gravy)
Steps:
1. Wash the potato in the water. Peel off its skin. The number of potato depends upon the number of servings that you want so this one big potato is enough already for 1 servings (1 person).
2. After its skin has been peeled, slice it into half in lengthwise and slice it again to quarters.
3. Put the sliced potatoes in the sauce pan. Add water until the potatoes are covered. Add 1 pinch of salt. Simmer until it boils. You can use fork in poking the potato to see if its cooked and soft already. This would take 15-20 minutes in a medium fire.
4. In a plasticware, mash the cooked potatoes using a tablespoon
5. After mashing it, place it on a small bowl. For additional taste, you can put gravy.
Then enjoy eating it! One small bowl of it can make your stomach full already. Comments or suggestions are highly appreciated! :)
