It goes well with many dishes, but it does not always turn out as soft and creamy as expected. If you have been wondering for a long time how to prepare mashed potatoes that everyone will like, use a simple French recipe.

You can prepare Chantilly potatoes in about 30 minutes. First, carefully peel and wash the potatoes (about 1 kg), then cook them in a small amount of salted water, drain and press them through a press as with a traditional puree.
The next step is to add soft butter (about 90 g) and a small amount of milk to the mixture. Add them, mixing the ingredients constantly until the desired texture is achieved. It should be thick, but it’s not over yet.
Now it’s time for the secret ingredient in the form of well-whipped, sweet cream (100 g, maybe 30%). It should be chilled. Mix it thoroughly into the potato mass using a wooden spoon. You can add parmesan, salt and nutmeg.
