- Once the water is boiling, reduce the flame and simmer the potatoes for 35-45 mins or until it is just cooked.
Tips: Test for doneness by inserting a small knife into a potato. If minimal pressure is required, the potato is cooked. - Cool the potatoes in an ice water bath.
- After it is cooled, peel off the skin and press the potatoes through a fine sieve and make sure there are no lumps. Set it aside in room temperature.
- Preheat oven to 200°C.
