Ingredients
Main Ingredients (2 servings)
- 240g potato
- 8g butter
Seasonings
- 2/3 tsp consommé
- 1 tbsp water
- 2 tbsp (24g) mayonnaise
- 1/3 tsp sugar
- a pinch of salt
- black pepper (powder) to taste
Steps
- Peel the skin off the potato and thoroughly scrape away any green parts, as they may contain toxins.
- Cut the peeled 240g potato into appropriate-sized pieces, as they will be mashed anyway.
- Place the cut potato in a heatproof container, add 2/3 tsp consommé and 1 tbsp water, cover with plastic wrap or a lid, and microwave at 600W for 6 minutes.
- While the microwaved potato is still hot, add 8g butter and coarsely mash with a fork or similar utensil. 【This is the trick!】 By mashing with a fork instead of a masher, you leave some potato texture and can reduce the amount of mayonnaise used.
- Let the potato cool down. If you're in a hurry, transfer it to another container to speed up cooling. 【This is the trick!】 Adding mayonnaise while it's still hot can cause separation and make it greasy, so be sure to let it cool down. Cooling it in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes is recommended.
- To the cooled potato, add 2 tbsp (24g) mayonnaise, 1/3 tsp sugar, a pinch of salt, and black pepper (powder) to taste, then mix well. 【This is the trick!】 If you want to use less mayonnaise, mash the potato into larger chunks.
- Serve in a dish and it's done.
