Soaking Potatoes for Mashed Potatoes Recipe

Video Transcript

"Hi, this is Richard Buccola of New York City and on behalf of Expert Village, today I am going to show you how to make some mashed potatoes. So I am back here and one of the hardware things that always seem to forget is our trusty colander. I don't know why I forget. Just come over to your sink and kind of just rinse them off. I give them a good quick rinse and that's it. You are going to come over to your hot water. Your water is boiling and I added salt to this water and basically be careful. You might want to drop them in like this of if you are careful, you can put them in just like that. And that's it. When you come back, your potatoes are in there and ready to go and we are going to start chopping up our scallion now and getting it all ready to whip these bad boys up. It's mashed potatoes right here on Expert Village. "
