Step-by-Step Guide to Making the Mashed Potatoes
Step 1: Preparing the Potatoes
Start by washing the potatoes thoroughly and peeling them. Once peeled, cut them into chunks if necessary and steam them for about 30 minutes. You'll know they're ready when they're soft and easy to mash. After steaming, transfer the potatoes to a bowl, and add the butter and salt. Mash everything together until it forms a smooth and creamy texture.
To make the mashed potatoes even more impressive, take a small bowl and line it with some plastic wrap. Press the mashed potatoes firmly into the bowl to shape them and make them look nice when you turn them out onto the plate.
Step 2: Making the Sauce
While your potatoes are steaming, we can prepare the sauce. In a small bowl, combine the oyster sauce, cornstarch, and black pepper. Then, add 75ml of water and mix everything together until the cornstarch is dissolved and the sauce is well combined.
Next, pour the sauce mixture into a small saucepan, and heat it over medium heat. Add the butter to the pan, stirring the mixture until it thickens into a smooth sauce. Keep an eye on it and stir occasionally to make sure it doesn't burn.
Step 3: Assembling the Dish
Once your potatoes are mashed and the sauce is ready, it's time to put everything together. Take the bowl of mashed potatoes and turn it out onto a plate, carefully removing the plastic wrap. You should have a beautiful, smooth mound of mashed potatoes on your plate.
Now, pour the savory sauce over the top of the mashed potatoes. This sauce not only adds a rich flavor but also gives the dish a lovely glossy finish. Serve immediately and enjoy!
