Chicken mashed potatoes

Ingredients: potatoes, butter, salt, milk, chicken broth, black pepper, ham, water starch

Operation: Step 1: Peel and clean 2 medium-sized potatoes, then cut them into large pieces.

Step 2: Put it in a pot of water and cook it. Take out and put it in a large bowl, mash the potatoes with a spoon, add a spoonful of butter (I use margarine, which is vegetable butter), a little salt, 1-2 spoons of milk, and mix well. Don't make it too thin.

Step 3: Scoop the mixed mashed potatoes into small balls, or roll them into small balls with your hands, place them on a plate and arrange them. If you use your hands to make the balls, wet your hands with clean water so they won't stick.

Step 4: Pour half a bowl of chicken soup into a small pot, add black pepper, and thinly shredded ham (or sausage). After boiling, thicken with water starch. Pour the sauce on the potato balls and the cute and delicious chicken mashed potatoes are ready. The chicken soup I used was already salty, so I didn’t add any salt. If it wasn’t salty enough, you would need to add a little salt as appropriate.

Creamy mashed potatoes recipe:

1. Choose 6 to 8 cute small potatoes, peel and wash them, put them in water and boil for about half an hour, add a little salt to the water. When it’s almost done, use chopsticks to test it. If you can easily poke inside, it’s done.

2. Take out the potatoes, drain the water, put them in a large bowl, and use a suitable tool (I used a fork, which is not very suitable, but it works barely) to stir and mash the potatoes.

3. Then add appropriate amount of milk and butter or cheese (be careful not to add too much milk, as it will easily make the mashed potatoes thin), and continue stirring until it is evenly mixed and becomes a paste. Hehe, then you can eat it.
