  • 0.3 teaspoon pepper white
  • cup milk whole

Equipment

Directions

  1. Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 425°F.
  2. Wrap each potato in foil, then prick potatoes through foil several times with a fork.
  3. Bake potatoes until tender, 1 to 1 1/4 hours.
  4. Heat milk, butter, salt, and white pepper in a 3-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat until butter is melted.
  5. While milk mixture heats, unwrap baked potatoes and, while still hot (use a kitchen towel to protect your hands or hold potatoes with tongs), pull off skin with a paring knife or halve unpeeled potatoes and scoop out flesh with a spoon, transferring it to a bowl. Discard skin.
  6. Force hot potatoes through ricer into hot milk mixture in pan and gently stir with a large heatproof rubber spatula just until combined.
